Upgrade zabbix/zabbix to version 1.6 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The process_trap function in trapper/trapper.c in Zabbix Server before 1.6.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted request with data that lacks an expected : (colon) separator, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.
