RHBA-2018:1382 - net-snmp bug fix update
Synopsis
net-snmp bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory None
Topic
Updated net-snmp packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
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 bugs:
-
Previously, a memory leak occurred during the snmpd process. Consequently, the amount of consumed memory continued to grow over time. This bug has been fixed, and the net-snmp packages no longer leak memory. (BZ#1560965)
-
The net-snmp package version 5.7.2, which was previously distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4, did not provide support for Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (ACFS). As a consequence, users were unable to monitor mounts of this type. With this update, the upstream implementation of ACFS support has been backported. As a result, net-snmp is now able to provide support for ACFS mounts. (BZ#1570506)
Users of net-snmp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
Solution
