Mandriva Update for net-snmp MDVSA-2008:225 (net-snmp)

Solution
Please Install the Updated Packages.
Insight
A denial of service vulnerability was discovered in how Net-SNMP processed GETBULK requests. A remote attacker with read access to the SNMP server could issue a specially-crafted request which would cause snmpd to crash (CVE-2008-4309). Please note that for this to be successfully exploited, an attacker must have read access to the SNMP server. By default, the public community name grants read-only access, however it is recommended that the default community name be changed in production. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
