PACKAGE   : net-snmp
SUMMARY   : Fix for the net-snmp package
DATE      : 2003-11-07 15:16:00
ID        : CLA-2003:778

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
