RHSA-2018:1605 - Moderate: collectd security update

Synopsis

Moderate: collectd security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory Moderate

Topic

Updated collectd packages are now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 10.0 Operational Tools for RHEL 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

Red Hat OpenStack Platform Operational Tools provides the facilities for monitoring a private or public Red Hat OpenStack Platform cloud.

collectd is a small C-language daemon, which reads various system metrics periodically and updates RRD files (creating them if necessary). Because the daemon does not start up each time it updates files, it has a low system footprint.

Security fix:

  • collectd: double free in csnmp_read_table function in snmp.c (CVE-2017-16820)

For more details about the security issue, including impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section.
