Hi, I already added bug report (https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/bugs/2815/), but probably issue need additional discussion.
Server with net-snmp daemon, where I added some string with UTF8 chars for testing purposes (but I know real system where used UTF8 chars). My test string is: "Rue de la Métallurgie, 4530 Villers-le-Bouillet, België" in old versions (seems as pre 5.7) I see correct UTF8 string in get/walk requests **NET-SNMP version: 5.4.3 (Ubuntu 12.04.5)** SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Rue de la Métallurgie, 4530 Villers-le-Bouillet, België **NET-SNMP version: 5.5 (CentOS 6)** SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Rue de la Métallurgie, 4530 Villers-le-Bouillet, België but for 5.7.x on different system, I see 2 dots instead each UTF8 chars: **NET-SNMP version: 5.7.3 (Ubuntu 16.04.3)** **NET-SNMP version: 5.7.3 (FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p18)** SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 = STRING: Rue de la M..tallurgie, 4530 Villers-le-Bouillet, Belgi.. I'm not C-guru, but I think this is DISPLAY-HINT conversion issue. For such strings used textual conversion SNMPv2-TC::DisplayString (DISPLAY-HINT "255a") I compared code from 5.7.3 and 5.4.4 in snmplib/mib.c and see string conversion cardinally changed for "a" and "t" hints. And I think issue something in function sprint_realloc_asciistring(). I tried rebuild Ubuntu package with old code for hint conversion, and issue is gone for me! Probably some one can fix this more correctly with sprint_realloc_asciistring()? -- Sincerely yours, Mike S.
