   An update that solves one vulnerability and has three fixes
   is now available.

Description:


   This update to net-snmp resolves the following issues:

   * Specially crafted SNMP GET requests could cause a
   denial of service (application crash) via a heap-based
   out-out-bounds read flaw which could be exploited remotely
   (CVE-2012-2141).
   * The snmpd agent should read shared memory information
   from /proc/meminfo when running on Linux Kernel 2.6 or
   newer (bnc#762887).
   * The snmpd agent could crash when an AgentX sub-agent
   disconnects in the middle of a request (bnc#670789).
   * After rotating the net-snmp log file, use
   "try-restart" to restart the daemon. Reloading with a
   SIGHUP signal may trigger crashes when dynamic modules
   (dlmod) are in use (bnc#762433).

   Security Issue reference:

   * CVE-2012-2141
