RHBA-2011:1216 - net-snmp bug fix update

Synopsis

net-snmp bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated net-snmp packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

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. The net-snmp package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc.

These update fixes for the following bug:

  • In the previous net-snmp update, implementation of the UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskTable table was rewritten and reporting of the UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskPercentNode column was accidentally removed from the snmpd daemon. With this update, the object identifier for UCD-SNMP-MIB::dskPercentNode has been restored and it now properly reports percentages of used inodes on storage devices, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#732943)

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