Description
An array index error, leading to an out-of-bounds buffer read flaw, was
found in the way the net-snmp agent looked up entries in the extension
table. A remote attacker with read privileges to a Management Information
Base (MIB) subtree handled by the "extend" directive (in
"/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf") could use this flaw to crash snmpd via a crafted
SNMP GET request. (CVE-2012-2141)
These updated net-snmp packages also include numerous bug fixes. Space
precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Users are
directed to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 Technical Notes for
information on the most significant of these changes.
