Public bug reported: As 5.7.3+dfsg-1.8ubuntu3.5 released, it makes the extend mib read-only in order to solve CVE-2020-15862.
However, it also makes nsExtendCacheTime cannot be modified anymore. $ snmpset -v1 -c xxx localhost "NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendCacheTime.\"test\"" i 0 Error in packet. Reason: (genError) A general failure occured Failed object: NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendCacheTime."test" As the nsExtendCacheTime cannot be set in snmpd.conf until 5.8, we can never configure it. IMHO, the patch https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/patches/1290/ should also be introduced along with the patch for CVE-2020-15862, so that we can configure nsExtendCacheTime in snmpd.conf. https://github.com/net-snmp/net- snmp/commit/d8b12900629ed73a78b27535f08c4f0a721a93be ** Affects: net-snmp (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892980 Title: NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendCacheTime cannot be set anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/1892980/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
