Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

An updated ncpfs package is now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Ncpfs is a file system that understands the Novell NetWare(TM) NCP protocol.

All users of ncpfs are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported fixes for this issue.
