RHBA-2013:0819 - net-snmp bug fix update
Synopsis
net-snmp bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated net-snmp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Extended Update Support.
Description
The net-snmp packages provide various libraries and tools for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), including an SNMP library, an extensible agent, 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 Management Information Base (MIB) browser.
This update fixes the following bug:
Previously, snmpd erroneously checked the length of “SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrRowStatus” value in incoming “SNMP-SET” requests on 64-bit platforms. Consequently, snmpd sent an incorrect reply to the “SNMP-SET” request. With this update, the check of “SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrRowStatus” is fixed and it is possible to set it remotely using “SNMP-SET” messages. (BZ#956287).
Users of net-snmp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
