net-snmp bug fix update

Updated net-snmp packages that resolve an issue 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 net-snmp packages fix the following bug:

* snmpd, the SNMP daemon, did not expect the packet counters in the
/proc/net/snmp and /proc/net/snmp6 files to be 64-bit on 64-bit
systems. When these counters exceeded 32 bits in size, which would occur
when the Linux kernel sent or received greater than 4,294,967,296 (2^32)
packets, then the snmpd daemon would terminate abnormally. With this
update, the snmpd daemon no longer crashes when it encounters a packet
counter in the directories listed above that is greater than 32 bits in
size, thus resolving the issue. (BZ#516182)

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

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