-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : net-snmp SUMMARY : Fix for the net-snmp package DATE : 2003-11-07 15:16:00 ID : CLA-2003:778 RELEVANT RELEASES : 9 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION "net-snmp"[1] is an implementation and a set of tools to deal with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is used for remote administration and monitoring of network devices and services. "net-snmp" version 5.0.9 was released[2] to address a security vulnerability in previous 5.0.x versions where an existing user/community could get access to data in MIB objects that were explicitly excluded from their view. SOLUTION It is recommended that all net-snmp users upgrade their packages. IMPORTANT: after the upgrade, the service must be manually restarted if it was already running. To do this, execute the following command as root: /sbin/service snmpd restart REFERENCES 1. http://www.net-snmp.org/ 2. http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=308015 UPDATED PACKAGES ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/SRPMS/net-snmp-5.0.9-27290U90_1cl.src.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/RPMS/net-snmp-5.0.9-27290U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/RPMS/net-snmp-devel-5.0.9-27290U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/RPMS/net-snmp-devel-static-5.0.9-27290U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/RPMS/net-snmp-doc-5.0.9-27290U90_1cl.i386.rpm ftp://atualizacoes.conectiva.com.br/9/RPMS/net-snmp-utils-5.0.9-27290U90_1cl.i386.rpm ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS The apt tool can be used to perform RPM packages upgrades: - run: apt-get update - after that, execute: apt-get upgrade Detailed instructions reagarding the use of apt and upgrade examples can be found at http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/#apt?idioma=en - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- All packages are signed with Conectiva's GPG key.
