Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: collectd security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2018:0299-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform
Advisory URL: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:0299
Issue date: 2018-02-13
CVE Names: CVE-2017-16820
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
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)
