RHBA-2013:1666 - libvirt-snmp bug fix update

Synopsis

libvirt-snmp bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated libvirt-snmp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libvirt-snmp packages allow users to control and monitor the libvirt virtualization management tool through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, closing the libvirtMib_subagent using the Ctrl+C key combination led to a memory leak. The libvirtd daemon could be also terminated sometimes. A patch has been applied to address this issue, and a memory leak no longer occurs in this scenario. (BZ#736258)

Users of libvirt-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.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
