The remote host is missing an update for the 'net-snmp' package(s) due to a divide-by-zero flaw in the snmpd daemon, allowing a remote attacker to crash the daemon via a specially-crafted GETBULK request (CVE-2009-1887)

  A divide-by-zero flaw was discovered in the snmpd daemon. A remote attacker
  could issue a specially-crafted GETBULK request that could crash the snmpd
  daemon. (CVE-2009-1887)

  Note: An attacker must have read access to the SNMP server in order to
  exploit this flaw. In the default configuration, the community name
  'public' grants read-only access. In production deployments, it is
  recommended to change this default community name.

  All net-snmp users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
  a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, the
