In regard to: [Networker] Overall opinion of 7.2.2?, George Sinclair said...:

My main desire to go to 7.2.2 is to encompass as many of the security
enhancements as possible, and in the easiest manner,

Then 7.2.2 is probably the way to go.  It's been at least as stable as
7.1.4 was for us.

27-Apr-2006 EMC Technical Alert for NetWorker - LGTOpa84882 (mentions fix is included in 7.2.2, and patches are available for other releases, but says nothing about 7.2.1)

That's why we went to 7.2.2.  Note that you need to upgrade all your
clients too, since the (remotely exploitable) vulnerability is in
nsrexecd, which runs on your clients too (except NetWare clients).
