RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Proposed patch

Description of problem:

snmptranslate reports SYNTAX's value range as "(0..-1)"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

net-snmp-5.5-22.el6

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. snmptranslate -Td NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsTransactionID
  
Actual results:

NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsTransactionID
nsTransactionID OBJECT-TYPE
  -- FROM	NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB
  SYNTAX	Unsigned32 (0..-1) 
  MAX-ACCESS	not-accessible
  STATUS	current
  DESCRIPTION	"The internal identifier for a given transaction."
::= { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) private(4) enterprises(1) netSnmp(8072) netSnmpObjects(1) nsTransactions(8) nsTransactionTable(1) nsTransactionEntry(1) 1 }


Expected results:

snmptranslate -Td NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsTransactionID
NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsTransactionID
nsTransactionID OBJECT-TYPE
  -- FROM	NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB
  SYNTAX	Unsigned32 (0..4294967295) 
  MAX-ACCESS	not-accessible
  STATUS	current
  DESCRIPTION	"The internal identifier for a given transaction."

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-06-23 07:42:54 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 3 Jan Safranek 2010-06-23 07:55:33 UTC 
The patch won't work, net-snmp stores ranges as signed int, i.e. up to 2147483647. The MIB describes range of nsTransactionID as 0..4294967295, which simply won't fit there. Just retyping it to unsigned will break e.g. MTA-MIB::mtaGroupHierarchy, which is INTEGER (-2147483648..2147483647).

As proper solution, long should be used instead of int.

Which probably breaks ABI. I'd rather ask upstream...
Comment 5 Jan Safranek 2010-06-25 09:44:58 UTC 
I've checked final solution to upstream SVN, rev. 19095.
Comment 8 Karel Srot 2010-07-07 09:12:46 UTC 
Switching back to Assigned. Bug is not resolved properly on i386 platform.

On i386 platform I am getting "Unsigned32 (0..2147483647)" instead of "Unsigned32 (0..4294967295)".

NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsTransactionID
nsTransactionID OBJECT-TYPE
  -- FROM	NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB
  SYNTAX	Unsigned32 (0..2147483647) 
  MAX-ACCESS	not-accessible
  STATUS	current
  DESCRIPTION	"The internal identifier for a given transaction."
