a. Service Console package net-snmp updated
This patch updates the service console package for net-snmp, net-snmp-utils, and net-snmp-libs to version net-snmp-5.0.9-2.30E.28. This net-snmp update fixes a divide-by- zero flaw in the snmpd daemon. A remote attacker could issue a specially crafted GETBULK request that could cause the snmpd daemon to fail.
This vulnerability was introduced by an incorrect fix for CVE-2008-4309.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2009-1887 to this issue.
Note: After installing the previous patch for net-snmp (ESX350-200901409-SG), running the snmpbulkwalk command with the parameter -CnX results in no output, and the snmpd daemon stops.
