net-snmp-5.5-41.AXS4

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network management. The NET-SNMP project includes 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 and a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc.

You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package, which contains NET-SNMP utilities.

Security issues fixed with this release:

• CVE-2012-2141
No description available at the time of writing, please use the CVE link below.

Bug Fixes

• A previous fix to snmpd crashing when an AgentX subagent disconnected while processing a request introduced a memory leak. This has been fixed.

• The BRIDGE-MIB wrongly converted the interface-index values from the kernel and reported incorrect ifIndex OIDs. The conversion problem has been fixed.

• snmpd does not modify logging settings when parsing proxy options, and no more unexpected debug messages are added to the system log.

• moved /var/lib/net-snmp fro net-snmp to net-snmp-libs package

• fixed proxying of out-of-tree GETNEXT requests

• fixed snmpd crashing with many AgentX subagent

• fixed SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID value when "sysObjectID" config file option with long OID was used

• fixed value of BRIDGE-MIB::dot1dBasePortIfIndex.1

• fixed parsing of "proxy" snmpd.conf option not to enable verbose logging by default

• added new "realStorageUnits" config file option to support disks > 16 TB in hrStorageTable

• added vxfs, reiserfs and ocfs2 filesystem support to hrStorageTable

• fixed snmpd sigsegv when embedded perl script registers one handler twice

• fixed setting of SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrRowStatus via SNMP-SET request on 64-bit platforms

• fixed crash when /var/lib/net-snmp/mib_indexes/ files have wrong SELinux context

• fixed memory leak when agentx subagent disconnects in the middle of request processing

• fixed slow (re-)loads of TCP-MIB::tcpConnectionTable

• removed 'error finding row index in _ifXTable_container_row_restore' error message
