Summary

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.
The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: collectd (5.8.0). (BZ#1544653)
Security Fix(es):
* collectd: double free in csnmp_read_table function in snmp.c (CVE-2017-16820)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
