Package uuidd Installed
Medium Severity
The package
uuidd
is not installed on normal Linux distribution by default. Applications require this package to avoid database inconsistences caused by duplicated UUIDs. Especially in banking services with SAP where massive UUIDs are created in a short time period, it is important to install the package

package can be installed with the following command:
$ sudo yum install uuidd
