[slackware-security] net-snmp (SSA:2008-320-02)
New net-snmp packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, and -current to
fix a denial of service issue.
More details about this issue may be found in the Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-4309
Here are the details from the Slackware 12.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-i486-1_slack12.1.tgz:
Upgraded to net-snmp-5.4.2.1.
This fixes a problem where a user with read access could cause snmpd to
crash, resulting in a denial of service.

(* Security fix *)

Where to find the new packages:
+-----------------------------+
HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)
Also see the "Get Slack" section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
