The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for
network management.
A divide-by-zero flaw was discovered in the snmpd daemon. A remote attacker
could issue a specially-crafted GETBULK request that could crash the snmpd
daemon. (CVE-2009-1887)
Note: An attacker must have read access to the SNMP server in order to
exploit this flaw. In the default configuration, the community name
“public” grants read-only access. In production deployments, it is
recommended to change this default community name.
All net-snmp users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing the update, the
snmpd and snmptrapd daemons will be restarted automatically.
