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. 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. The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: collectd (5.7.1).

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. collectd is a host-based system statistics collection daemon that gathers metrics from various sources periodically, such as the operating system, applications, log files and devices, and storage clusters. As the daemon does not start up each time it updates files, it has a low system footprint. For Red Hat Gluster Storage Web Administration 3.4, collectd service is responsible for gathering metrics from Red Hat Gluster Storage clusters. The updated collectd package includes the following security bug fixes. Security Fix(es) : * collectd: Infinite loop due to incorrect interaction of parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions (CVE-2017-7401) * collectd: double free in csnmp_read_table function in snmp.c (CVE-2017-16820) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. This updated package contains a number of bug fixes and enhancements, which are documented in detail in the Release Notes, linked in the References. All users of collectd are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 117321 published 2018-09-06 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2018-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/117321 title RHEL 7 : Storage Server (RHSA-2018:2615) NASL family Amazon Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ALA_ALAS-2017-829.NASL description Infinite loop due to incorrect interaction of parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions : Collectd contains an infinite loop due to how the parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions interact.
