| that have been fixed/applied, and the ChangeLog file for a comprehensive |
| listing of all changes made to the code. |
| |
| *5.7.3* |
| Many many bug fixes and minor improvements |
| |
| snmpd, snmptrapd and apps: |
| - Patch 2525: from Ryan Steinmetz: Fix argument length parsing of the |
| host resources mib |
| - Make ENV_SEPARATOR_CHAR configurable |
| - SECURITY: a denial of service attack vector was discovered on |
| the linux implementation of the ICMP-MIB. This release fixes |
| this bug and all users are encouraged to update their SNMP |
| agent if they make use of the ICMP-MIB table objects. |
| |
| perl: |
| - BUG: 2402: Add support for SNMPv3 traps |
| |
| Windows: |
| - Port batch build infrastructure to Visual Studio 2010 and later |
| From Visual Studio 2010 on it is no longer possible to specify |
| include or library directories globally - these have to be |
| specified per project. Hence two additional menu entries in |
| build.bat that allow to specify these directories. |
| |
| *5.7.2* |
| snmp: |
| - BUG: 3526549: CVE-2012-2141 Array index error leading to crash |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - BUG: 3532090: Fix high ifIndex values crashing hrDeviceDescr |
| |
| building: |
| - PATCH: 2091156: correctly declare dependencies in Makefile. 'make |
| -j <N>' should work now. Backport this to V5-4 as it is needed for |
| correct operation in the single threaded case of make miblib as |
| well. |

| match, rather than the first one). Reported by Adam Lewis. Note |
| that this could potentially affect the behaviour of existing access |
| control configurations. |

| - new API for indicating that persistent store needs to be saved |
| after the current request finishes processing |
| - [PATCH 2931446]: make the load averages writable. |
| |

| - A new tool 'net-snmp-cert' that easily creates and manages |
| X.509 certificates for use with the SNMP over (D)TLS protocols. |
| - Added an 'agentxtrap' command to send notifications via AgentX |
| (See http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:agentxtrap for details) |

| - Transports can now specify session defaults |
| - E.G. dtlsudp: auto-sets the SNMP version and the security model. |
| - [PATCH 2942940]: Add a new function, netsnmp_parse_args, that is |
| like snmp_parse_args but takes an additional bitmask, flags, to |
| affect the behaviour. Also remove the magic handling of some |
| application names. |
| - A new X.509 certificate API for indexing and reading certificates |
| - new experimental row creation API which uses a state machine |
| to try really hard to create a row from a given varbind list |

| - IPv6 is only supported under Cygwin 1.7 or later. |
| - [BUG 2939168]: byte order of udpLocalPort is now correct. |
| - [BUG 2939168]: fixed test infrastructure ("make test"). This has |
| been fixed by using the proper environment separator character and |
| by adding the path of the netstat executable for Cygwin in |
| testing/TESTCONF.sh. |
| - building with another OpenSSL package than the Cygwin-provided |
| packages openssl and openssl-devel is again possible. |
| - running the regression test suite is again possible ('make test'). |

| *5.4* |
| |
| Important Changes: |
| - The default configuration now enables embedded Perl and the Perl |
| modules by default when possible unless explicitly disabled. You |
| may use the --disable-embedded-perl and --without-perl-modules |
| configure options, respectively, to revert to the former default |
| configuration. |
| |
| New: |
| python: |
| - Python bindings to the Net-SNMP project are now available in |
| the python sub-directory. See the README file there for details. |
| |
| build: |
| - Some preliminary support for automatic building of dynamically |
| loadable mib module code. |
| - Most net-snmp specific defines are now (also) available under |
| a proper NETSNMP_ prefix. The older, potentially conflicting |
| names as well as the autoconf variables can now be turned off |
| easily within 3rd party code. |
| - libtool update to 1.5.22 |
| - enable-as-needed will try to link built libraries against needed |
| libraries at library link time, rather than application link time. |
| This is preliminary support for what will likely be better in 5.5. |
| |
| snmplib: |
| - [PATCH 1282566]: to rework transport creation to allow for |
| alternative interpretations of the address and a more flexible |
| transport registration system |
| - [PATCH 1509943]: responses will get sent from the original dest IP |
| address when possible. |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - new MIB table for managing Net-SNMP access control extensions |
| (see NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB). These extensions to the VACM MIB are |
| Net-SNMP specific and are used primarily by snmptrapd at this point. |
| - [PATCH 1550725]: A new uint instance helper to match the existing |
| int, long and ulong helpers |
| - [PATCH 1534877]: to add support for skipping NFS entries in the |
| host resources hrStorageTable. See the skipNFSInHostResources |
| token in the snmpd.conf file for details. |
| - A "hardware abstraction layer", to localise the O/S-specific |
| aspects of retrieving system data. This first appeared in the |
| 5.3.x line, but this release now starts to actively use it for |
| implementing particular MIB modules. |
| This has resulted in some minor changes in behaviour - some index |
| values in the hrStorageTable have changed from earlier releases, |
| and the (non-raw) memory statistics are now consistent, reporting |
| percentage usage calculated over the last minute on _all_ systems. |
| - Agent builds default module list from a default_mibs.h rather than |
| a hard coded configure list |
| - [PATCH 1568150]: Extend pass_persist error messages that can be |
| passed back from the script |
| - [PATCH 1570982]: Solaris IF-MIB: Support for IPv6-only interfaces |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - the traphandle directive now supports a -t switch to indicate |
| matching any OID in the tree below the specified OID |
| |
| mib2c: |
| - New mib2c.emulation.conf provides a quick way to do simplistic |
| emulation of an entire MIB or MIB branch. |
| - A new perl module NetSNMP::agent::Support provides easier embedded |
| perl support. (patch 1369996 from Peter Martin) |
| Run "mib2c -c mib2c.perl.conf OID" to help you start using it. |
| |
| perl: |
| - gettable() now supports asynchronous callback functions |
| - update default_store module to latest default_store c-binding |
| tokens |
| |
| snmpusm: |
| - performance improvement when changing localized keys |
| - new option -Cp to set usmUserPublic value |
| |
| snmpvacm: |
| - new commands to manipulate Net-SNMP access control extensions |
| |
| Ports: |
| Linux: |
| - add IPv6 aware UDP and TCP mibs to default module list |
| |
| Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD: |
| - Experimental support for 64bit interface counters (ifXTable). Enable |
| via '--with-mib-modules=if-mib --enable-mfd-rewrites'. |
| - [PATCH 1569537,1569539]: new UDP-MIB and TCP-MIB implementation |
| (enable through --with-mib-modules=udp-mib,tcp-mib) |
| |
| Win32: |
| - new winExtDLL extension module to allow snmpd to load Windows SNMP |
| Service extension DLLs to provide support for HOST-RESOURCES-MIB |
| and other MIBs provided with Windows. |
| |
| AIX: |
| - HOST-RESOURCES-MIB implementation added to default module list |
| |
| uCLinux |
| - [PATCH 1551948]: Make pass_persist usable on uClinux |
| |
| Fixes: |
| snmplib: |

| - fix 8 byte IpAddress in at, ip and route MIBs. |
| - [PATCH 1562688]: fix ping/reattach agentx code |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - fix bug 1420758/1458815: snmptrapd aborts/loops in select() |
| (official patch 1420758) |
| - fix re-init of daemons after SIGHUP (official patch 1473289) |
| |
| perl: |

| - fixes for 64-bit platforms |
| |
| misc: |
| - Many misc fixes |
| |
| *5.3.0.1* |
| |
| *** Security Fix *** |
| |
| - In version 5.3 much of the authorization control was rewritten. |
| There was a bug in the new code that resulted in granting write |
| access to read-only users or communities which were configured |
| using the "rocommunity" or "rouser" snmpd.conf tokens. 5.3.0.1 |
| fixes this problem. Users are encouraged to immediately update |
| their installations if they use either of these tokens. |
| |
| |
| *5.3* |
| |
| *** Important Notes *** |
| |
| Several very significant changes have been made in Net-SNMP for this |
| release that warrant special attention. |
| |
| - shared library version number no longer matches the release number. We |
| now follow the versioning scheme recommended by libtool. For the 5.3 |
| release this means that the libraries now have a SONAME ending with |
| ".so.10", e.g. libnetsnmp.so.10. |
| |
| - snmpd has not been truncating log files at startup, as documented in |
| the man pages, for a while now. This default behaviour has been restored. |
| Please use the '-A' flag if you want to continue appending to your log |
| files at startup. |
| |
| - snmptrapd will no longer accept all traps by default. It must be |
| configured with authorized SNMPv1/v2c community strings and/or SNMPv3 |
| users. Non-authorized traps/informs will be dropped. |
| |
| - Due to a copyright statement that didn't allow modifications, |
| snmpnetstat has been completely rewritten. The new version now |
| accepts the same command-line options as the other tools, which |
| has introduced a number of incompatible changes. However, it |
| does now finally support SNMPv3. |
| |
| New: |
| Building: |
| - new option to disable set support in the agent (--disable-set-support) |
| |
| snmpd: |
| - implement notification logging |
| - implement notification filtering |
| - AgentX, host resources and disman/event mibs added to default module list |
| - updated and new disman mib implementations |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - allow a non-default AgentX socket |
| - a brand new authorization scheme that is based on the VACM |
| authorization scheme from snmpd. |
| - Note: now drops unauthenticated notifications by default |
| - registers the snmpEngine MIB group under the "snmptrapd" context |
| |
| snmplib: |
| - new helper for ascii file based scalar integers (think Linux /proc/) |
| - new utilities for dealing with files |
| - new utilities for parsing text files |
| - granular config/persistent file disablement (noPersistentLoad and |
| noPersistentSave snmp.conf tokens) |
| |
| mib2c: |
| - mib2c.mfd.conf now generates code for persistence row storage |
| - many enhancements and bug fixes |
| |
| snmpusm: |
| - allows to use old and/or new localized key instead of passphrase with |
| option -Ck |
| - new option -CE to specify usmUserEngineID (necessary to manage |
| snmptrapd's usmUserTable) |
| |
| Ports: |
| Linux: |
| - new experimental tables |
| - tcpConnectionTable, tcpListenerTable |
| - ipAddressPrefixTable |
| - udpEndpointTable |
| - ipv4InterfaceTable, ipv6InterfaceTable |
| - inetCidrRouteTable supports dynamic ipv4 route creation/deletion |
| - added ipv6IpForwarding.0 and ipv6IpDefaultHopLimit.0 (read-write) |
| |
| Win32: |
| - Cygwin compiler fixes |
| - MSVC: agent (snmpd) support for pass and pass_persist |
| - MinGW: agent (snmpd) support for pass |
| - Fix for 'select: No such file or directory' in snmpdelta |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - Persistent files in directory defined by snmp.conf persistentDir were |
| not being loaded at startup |
| - Perl getnext didn't honor explicit reference to MIB file |
| - AgentX sub-agent connection delayed til after config files read |
| - Build fixes for --disable-agent, --disable-snmpv1 and --disable-snmpv2c |
| - Lots of bug fixes |
| |
| |
| *5.2* |
| New: |
| For the security paranoid (like Wes): |
| - Insecure versions of SNMP may be completely disabled at compile time. |
| (configure using one or both of --disable-snmpv1 --disable-snmpv2c) |
| - Less secure versions of SNMPv3 authentication and encryption |
| algorithms may be completely disabled at compile time. |
| (configure using one or both of --disable-des --disable-md5) |
| (This requires you have OpenSSL to support SHA1 and AES instead) |
| - Diffie-Helman key negotiation (perfect-forward-secrecy - RFC2786) |
| has been implemented in both the agent and "snmpusm". |
| - Better support for direct use of localized and master keys |
| (randomly generated keys have more entropy than passwords). See |
| the -3m -3M -3k and -3K options, and the defAuthLocalizedKey, |
| defPrivLocalizedKey, defAuthMasterKey, defPrivMasterKey |
| snmp.conf tokens) |
| |
| library: |
| - send and receive buffer sizes for UDP/TCP are configurable |
| - .conf file token registration can now search multiple files |
| (separate file names to search by a :. IE, "snmpd:agentx") |
| |
| snmptrapd: |
| - Embedded perl support for trap handlers (much faster than traphandles). |
| (configure --with-embedded-perl ; see 'perldoc NetSNMP::TrapReceiver') |
| - the snmptrapd usmUser table can be controlled through SNMP & AgentX |
| (the snmptrapd registers MIBs under the "snmptrapd" SNMPv3 context) |
| |

| supports multi-line output, configurable command input, SET |
| handling, a valid relocatable MIB output structure, etc |
| - more flexibility added to netsnmp_cache helper, including periodic |
| refreshing of caches and cache pre-loading. |
| - experimental implementation of DisMan Remote Operations MIB groups |
| (remote nslookup, ping, traceroute and expressions via SNMP) |
| - The proxy supports a new -Cc flag which passes the community |
| name through to the other side rather than hard-coding it. |

| reduce the SNMP knowledge needed to develop MIB modules |
| and add flexibility at the same time. Run "mib2c -S |
| mfd_interactive_setup=1 -c mib2c.mfd.conf OID" and follow |
| its guided instructions to help you tailor its results to |
| meet your needs. |
| - mib2c.genhtml.conf: Generates an easier-to-read HTML view of |
| a MIB tree structure. (See http://www.Net-SNMP.org/mibs/ |
| for example output.) |

| |
| *5.0* |
| |
| New: |
| |
| - Much of the agent internals were completely rewritten and sports |
| a new module API to make your life easier. See the |
| agent/mibgroup/examples directory for example code that makes |
| use of some of the new functionality. |
| (Also see http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/agent/ which has |
| some incomplete documentation) |
| - The agent sports embedded perl, see the perl details further below. |
| - The agent supports multiple SNMPv3 contexts and mib modules can |
| now register themselves under different contexts. (see the -n |
| option in the snmpcmd manual page for details on specifying |
| context strings in requests) |
| - The proxy code has been completely rewritten and now supports |
| the use of SNMPv3 contexts to help select which proxied host you |
| wish to talk to. See the snmpd.conf manual page. |
| - All the tools take --configToken=value options now. (see -H |
| output from any command for what configTokens it accepts) |
| - All the tools can speak over many different transport layers |
| now, including UDP/TCP (ipv4 and ipv6), AAL5pvc, and IPX. See |
| ./configure --help for details on enabling them. |
| Note: the -p and -T flags to all the applications have been |
| removed. Use hostname strings like "tcp:localhost:9999" |
| instead. See the snmpcmd manual page for details. |
| - snmptrapd now acts as an agentx subagent and implements portions |
| of the NOTIFICATION-LOG-MIB to allow captured traps and informs |
| to be queried. |
| - A "net-snmp-config" script will get installed which can report |
| how the various tools were built (which libraries they were |
| linked against, etc). It will also help you do other things as |
| well, like setting up snmpv3. Run net-snmp-config --help for details. |
| - kerberos authenticated and encrypted SNMPv3 is now possible. |
| See ./configure --help for details on enabling the ksm security module. |
| - The AgentX subagent protocol implementation has many new |
| features and fixes. |
| - mib2c was completely rewritten and has a much improved |
| configuration file specification. |
| - Much of the code is getting documented with "doxygen" style |
| documentation. Run "make docs" if you have doxygen installed. |
| - some RMON support is available. |
| (See agent/mibgroup/Rmon/README for details.) |
| - The source tree has been reorganized and all the exported header |
| files are now in the include subdirectory. You can now point to |
| the includes easily without having to run "make install" first. |
| - the agent now requires a configuration file to access any information. |
| - The entire code base has had indent run on it to effect a |
| consistent coding style. See the CodingStyle file for details. |
| |
| Perl: |
| |
| - The SNMP perl module now calls init_snmp() like real net-snmp |
| applications, which means it will read snmp.conf configuration |
| files, etc. |
| - new perl specific configure options --with-perl-modules & |
| --enable-embedded-perl. See ./configure --help for details. |
| - The beginnings of some new Perl modules (alpha level quality) |
| are in the perl directory, including: |
| - NetSNMP::agent which allows perl scripts to become net-snmp |
| master or subagents |
| - AnyData::SNMP is available that implements a perl DBI |
| interface to map SQL commands to SNMP. Included is a "netsh" |
| shell where SQL commands can be typed, aliases created, etc. |
| See the perl/AnyData_SNMP/INSTALL file for details. |
| - Beginning (alpha level quality) support for embedding perl |
| subroutines directly within the net-snmp agent. |

| - Some easier-to-use access-control snmpd.conf directives for simple setups. |
| (see the snmpd.conf(5) manual page) |
| - Easier setup of SNMPv3 support for the agent. |
| (see the README.snmpv3 file). |
| - Command line argument parsing has been reworked for getopt() use. |

| |
| Perl: |
| - Joe Marzot's perl module is now included with the ucd-snmp source. |
| (this should help people trying to synchronize the two packages) |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - SMUX support has been reintegrated into the agent in a better way. |
| - Many many others. |
| |
| *4.0.1* |
| New: |

| - historic v2party support removed. |
| - complete re-write of the agent. |
| - The extensible AgentX protocol is in alpha-test mode. |
| (to use, compile with the mib-module "agentx" or |
| "agentx/master" or "agentx/client"). |
| - syslog support for the agent (and everything else for that matter). |
| - Per-process/per-exec-script based fix scripts implemented. |
| (see snmpd.conf(5) for details) |
| - many more config file options supported. |
| (run any command with -H and see appropriate .conf manual pages) |
| - The start of a "make test" suite. |
| - many other things we've forgotten. |
| - code is ANSI C now, and requires a ANSI C compiler. |
| |
| API Changes: |
| - A small change to the write functions in mib modules. |
| (data passed in has already be BER-decoded and is a pointer to a |
| variable of the correct type). |

| obsolete. Use REGISTER_MIB inside your init function instead. |
| |
| *3.6.2* |

| readability and has been broken into sections. |
| - The agent's SMUX support has been greatly improved and should |
| function with applications other than gated now. |
| - The snmptrapd has been make extensible so you can call other |
| programs and scripts when a trap has been received. |
| (see snmptrapd.conf(5)) |
| - More configuration files have been created and can be used to |
| specify defaults and configuration information to the various |
| applications. Run each command with -H to see what it understands. |
| (see snmp_config(5), snmpd.conf(5), snmp.conf(5), snmptrapd.conf(5)) |
| - The configuration file parser looks in ~/.snmp by default as |
| well, allowing each user to have his/her own setup files for the |
| various applications. |
| - The mib parser supports a variety of options dictating how |
| strictly it parses mib files. |
| (see snmpcmd.1 on "-P") |
| - Debugging output with the -D flag now accepts a list of |
| debugging information types to print. |
| (see snmpcmd.1 on "-D") |
| - Minimal multi-thread support using a modified version of the |

| |
| Copyright: |
| - Simplification. |
| |
| *3.5* |
| |
| New: |
| - agent/mibgroup directory reorganized hierarchically. |
| - this may break the agent compilation with some compilers. |

| - many of the table oids have changed location and have been renamed. |
| - the View Based Access Control module was implemented in the agent. |
| Therefore, the "community" snmpd.conf parameter no longer |
| exists. See the snmpd.conf file for how to control access via |
| community names now. |
| - The header file #defines have changed. You may have to compile |
| third party applications with -DCMU_COMPATIBLE (like perl-SNMP <= V1.7). |
| - The parser is more strict about unlinked OIDs and end-of-comment |
| conditions. You may see problems in a few broken mibs that used |
| to parse ok with the older parser. |
| |
| New: |
| - dynamic library support: configure with --enable-shared. |
| - the beginnings of a Perl/Tk/SNMP mib browser: tkmib |

| - snmptrap sends to the correct default port of 162 again. |
| |
| Ports: |
| - irix 6.2 support improved. |
| - openbsd. |
| - the host resources mib compiles on Solaris. |
| |
| *3.3.1* |
| |
| New: |
| - "make install" installs the library and header files. |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - compilation on many architectures (sunos for example). |
| - snmptrapd doesn't exit if v2party files don't exist. |
| - host resources works a bit better (ie, it compiles) under solaris. |
| |
| |
| *3.3* |
| |
| Path changes: |
| - the default paths to the installed mibs and snmpd.conf file have |
| changed to /usr/local/share/snmp (set differently using --datadir). |
| - the default path of the snmpd and snmptrapd have changed to |
| /usr/local/sbin (set differently using --sbindir). |
| |
| New: |

| - snmptrapd is snmp-version multi-lingual. |
| |
| Ported: |
| - irix should be more complete. |
| - aix 4.1.5. |
| - fixes for hpux 10.20. |
| - linux 2.1.x support. |
| - library and apps supported under 32bit windows systems. |
| |
| Fixes: |
| - too numerous to mention. |
| |
| *3.2* |
| |
| New: |
| - Top level of the mib parser has been restructured |
| - no longer reads 'mib.txt' |
| - no longer reads everything (MIBS/MIBDIRS) |
| - reads import clauses to load other required modules |
| - new man page: mib_api.3 |
| - The agent has been completely restructured (modularized) to |
| allow for easier extension via C code and requires no |
| modification of the ucd-snmp distributed source code to add in |
| new C coded mib modules. See the README file in the |
| agent/mibgroup subdirectory for details. Modules are added and/or |
| removed via configure options. |
| - agent can send traps to multiple trap destinations. |
