Synopsis:          ESX Service Console update for net-snmp
Issue date:        2010-02-16

1. Summary

   Update for Service Console package net-snmp

2. Relevant releases

   VMware ESX 3.5 without patch ESX350-201002401-SG

3. Problem Description

 a. Service Console package net-snmp updated

    This patch updates the service console package for net-snmp,
    net-snmp-utils, and net-snmp-libs to version
    net-snmp-5.0.9-2.30E.28. This net-snmp update fixes a divide-by-
    zero flaw in the snmpd daemon. A remote attacker could issue a
    specially crafted GETBULK request that could cause the snmpd daemon
    to fail.

    This vulnerability was introduced by an incorrect fix for
    CVE-2008-4309.

    The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project (cve.mitre.org) has
    assigned the name CVE-2009-1887 to this issue.

    Note: After installing the previous patch for net-snmp
    (ESX350-200901409-SG), running the snmpbulkwalk command with the
    parameter -CnX results in no output, and the snmpd daemon stops.

    The following table lists what action remediates the vulnerability
    (column 4) if a solution is available.
