Fixed In Version: Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The previous Net-SNMP update contained a fix to improve checking of invalid incoming SNMP messages. This fix introduced a regression and some valid SNMP messages with multiple variables inside might be marked as invalid. Consequence: Net-SNMP tools and servers might reject valid SNMP messages and wait for "proper" response until timeout. Fix: Valid SNMP messages are not rejected. Result: The servers and utilities accept first incoming message and do not wait for a timeout.

Thanks for the report!

Hi,

I have done the same test (snmp query) with net-snmp.x86_64              1:5.5-44.el6_4.4 and I get the same result: time out.

Regards,
Maarten
