Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
When retrieving data for the Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base (RMON-MIB), the snmpd daemon may have leaked file descriptors. As a result, the file descriptors available to the snmpd process may have been exhausted, rendering the daemon unable to respond to SNMP requests. With this update, all unnecessary file descriptors are appropriately closed, and snmpd now works as expected.
