SUSE Security Update: Security update for net-snmp
Announcement ID: SUSE-SU-2012:0887-1
Rating: moderate
References: #759352 #762433
Affected Products:
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP4
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 SP4
  • SLE SDK 10 SP4

  • An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available.

    Description:


    This update to net-snmp resolves the following issues:

    * Specially crafted SNMP GET requests could cause a
    denial of service (application crash) via a heap-based
    out-out-bounds read flaw which could be exploited remotely
    (CVE-2012-2141).
    * After rotating the net-snmp log file, use
    "try-restart" to restart the daemon. Reloading with a
    SIGHUP signal may trigger crashes when dynamic modules
    (dlmod) are in use (bnc#762433).

    Security Issue reference:

    * CVE-2012-2141
