Package        : prior to mrtg-2.9.22-1
Vulnerability  : wrong permision
Problem-Type   : local
PLD-specific   : yes

The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the traffic 
load on network-links. PLD packages have got wrong permision to /etc/mrtg 
directory witch allow others to get snmp passwords.
Permisions to /etc/mrtg directory should be - root only.

The above problems have been fixed in version 2.9.25-2 for the
current stable distribution (ra).

We recommend that you upgrade your mrtg packages.

wget -c url
	will fetch the file for you
rpm -Uhv file(s)*.rpm
        will upgrade the referenced file.

If you are using "poldek" - the package manager, use the line as given below
for upgrade packages

poldek --update
        will update the internal database
poldek --upgrade 'mrtg*'
        will install corrected packages

If you are using "apt" - the package manager, use the line as given below
for upgrade packages

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade 'mrtg*'
        will install corrected packages
