[RHSA-2018:0299-01] Moderate: collectd security update

Tue Feb 13 16:13:47 UTC 2018

An update for collectd is now available for Red Hat OpenStack Platform 11.0
Operational Tools for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 11.0 Operational Tools for RHEL 7 - x86_64

3. Description:

collectd is a small C-language daemon, which reads various system metrics
periodically and updates RRD files (creating them if necessary). Because
the daemon does not start up each time it updates files, it has a low
system footprint.

Security Fix(es):

* A double-free vulnerability was found in the csnmp_read_table function in
the SNMP plugin of collectd. A network-based attacker could exploit this by
sending malformed data, causing collectd to crash or possibly other impact.
(CVE-2017-16820)
