Fedora Core 3: 2005-562 Critical: net-snmp Denial of Service

fedora
Calendar Grey July 13, 2005
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Enhancement for net-snmp in Fedora Core 3 addressing service disruption vulnerability, improving overall network monitoring efficiency.
Fixes DoS bug (#162908).

Summary

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, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl

mib browser. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons,

documentation, etc.

You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package,

which contains NET-SNMP utilities.

Building option:

--without tcp_wrappers : disable tcp_wrappers support

- CAN-2005-2177 new upstream version fixing DoS (#162908)

- CAN-2005-1740 net-snmp insecure temporary file usage (#158770)

- session free fixed, agentx modules build fine (#157851)

- report gigabit Ethernet speeds using Ethtool (#152480)
