I just ran into a segfault in netsnmp_swinst_arch_load() where if the
pkg_directory name is set, but the dir can't be opened, it was still attempting
to read the NULL descriptor.
Symptom: snmpd segfault when walking the entire MIB (one of the Host Resources
tables)
Patch below. Apologies if this is already known/fixed.
Cheers,
-Joe

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
