net-snmp bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated net-snmp packages that resolve several issues are now available.
Description
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 net-snmp packages provide fixes for the following bugs:
- under certain conditions, net-snmp would give an incorrect count for
various processes listed in the configuration file.
- the snmpd daemon now accepts a variety of integer types (e.g. int, long
int, short int, etc.) as values of ASN_INTEGER type from the extension modules.
- 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.
- the snmpd daemon no longer crashes when reading process information from
the /proc filesystem.
- HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrDeviceTable has been fixed so that it includes all
known OIDs in the tree walk.
- the snmpd no longer writes error messages to syslog if the values in
UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOTable overlap 32 bits.
- UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskTable now supports mount points containing spaces in
their paths.
- all daemons now use the /var/run/snmp directory for temporary files,
which is more secure and does not incur SELinux alerts.
- the snmpd daemon now honors the 'authtrapenable' configuration option.
- the 'override' configuration option in snmpd.conf now works correctly.
- the man page of snmpd.conf has been updated to reflect the fact that the
'exec' command does not cache its results.
- the man page of snmpd.conf has been updated to precisely specify which
tables are affected by 'ignoredisk' option.
- the snmpd daemon now accepts a variety of integer types (e.g. int, long
int, short int, etc.) as values of ASN_INTEGER type from the extension modules.
- the shared object file libnetsnmp.so is now correctly linked to the
libcrypto.so shared object file on the AMD64 architecture.
- the spec file for the net-snmp PRM now requires an exact version of the
net-snmp-libs RPM to make sure that the two packages are always updated
together.
All users of net-snmp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve these issues.
