net-snmp bug fix update

Advisory:	RHBA-2008:0025-3
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A
Issued on:	2008-01-04
Last updated on:	2008-01-04
Affected Products:	Red Hat Desktop (v. 4) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4) Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 4)
OVAL:	N/A

Details

Updated net-snmp packages that fix two bugs are now available.

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for
network management. The net-snmp packages include various SNMP tools:an
extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting
information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps,
a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl MIB browser.

These updated packages fix the following bugs:

* Receiving an incoming packet consisting only of trap requests would cause
the net-snmp daemon to crash.

* The net-snmp daemon would occassionally crash when it failed to receive
packets on an SMUX socket.

All users of net-snmp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
