Description

Recommended update for net-snmp This update for net-snmp fixes the following issues: Update to net-snmp-5.9.4 (bsc#1214364 jsc#PED-6435). * 5.9.4: - libsnmp: - Remove the SNMP_SWIPE_MEM() macro Remove this macro since it is not used in the Net-SNMP code base. - DISPLAY-HINT fixes - Miscellanious improvements to the transports - Handle multiple oldEngineID configuration lines - fixes for DNS names longer than 63 characters - agent: - Added a ignoremount configuration option for the HOST-MIB - disallow SETs with a NULL varbind - fix the --enable-minimalist build - apps: - snmpset: allow SET with NULL varbind for testing - snmptrapd: improved MySQL logging code - general: - configure: Remove -Wno-deprecated as it is no longer needed - miscellanious ther bug fixes, build fixes and cleanups - security: - These two CVEs can be exploited by a user with read-only credentials: - CVE-2022-24805�A buffer overflow in the handling of the INDEX of NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB can cause an out-of-bounds memory access. - CVE-2022-24809�A malformed OID in a GET-NEXT to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference. - These CVEs can be exploited by a user with read-write credentials: - CVE-2022-24806�Improper Input Validation when SETing malformed OIDs in master agent and subagent simultaneously - CVE-2022-24807�A malformed OID in a SET request to SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmAccessTable can cause an out-of-bounds memory access. - CVE-2022-24808�A malformed OID in a SET request to NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsLogTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference - CVE-2022-24810�A malformed OID in a SET to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference. - To avoid these flaws, use strong SNMPv3 credentials and do not share them. If you must use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, use a complex community string and enhance the protection by restricting access to a given IP address range. - Thanks are due to�Yu Zhang of VARAS@IIE and Nanyu Zhong of VARAS@IIE for reporting the following CVEs that have been fixed in this release, and to Arista Networks for providing fixes. - IF-MIB: Update ifTable entries even if the interface name has changed At least on Linux a network interface index may be reused for a network interface with a different name. Hence this patch that enables replacing network interface information even if the network interface name has changed. - unspecified: - Moved transport code into a separate subdirectory in snmplib - Snmplib: remove inline versions of container funcs'. - misc: - snmp-create-v3-user: Fix the snmpd.conf path @datadir@ is expanded in ${datarootdir} so datarootdir must be set before @datadir@ is used. * 5.9: - snmplib: - Add IPv6 support to DTLSUDP transport - use new netsnmp_sockaddr_storage in netsnmp_addr_pair - add base_transport ptr for tunneled transports - Dtls: overhaul of debug - Remove inline versions of container funcs - snmpd: - Use ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS when available Newer Linux kernels support ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS. Use it when available instead of the older and deprecated ETHTOOL_GSET. This patch avoids that the Linux kernel reports the following kernel warning: warning: 'snmpd' uses legacy ethtool link settings API, link modes are only partially reported See also https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/patches/1387/. - [BUG 2926]: Make it possible to set agentXPingInterval for a subagent - register agentXPingInterval for the subagent list handler, before it was registered for snmp - added agentxTimeout to the subagent list handler. It's now possible to set for snmpd and the subagent. See 'man snmpd.conf' - added agentxRetries to the subagent list handler. See 'man snmpd.conf'. It's never used in the subagent, but it's now following the documentation Signed-off-by: Anders Wallin <wallinux@gmail.com> - snmptrap: - BUG: 2899: Patch from Drew Roedersheimer to set library engineboots/time values before sending - snmptrapd: - Add support for the latest libmysqlclient version - libsnmp: - Scan MIB directories in alphabetical order This guarantees that e.g. mibs/RFC1213-MIB.txt is read before mibs/SNMPv2-MIB.txt. The order in which these MIBs is read matters because both define sysLocation but with different attributes. - Removing legacy MIBs used by Velocity Software (jsc#PED-6416 jsc#PED-6434). - Added hardening to systemd service(s) (bsc#1181400, bsc#1206044).
