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
