Netcool/OMNIbus Integrations Release Notice - SNMP Probe (nco-p-mttrapd-22_0)

News


Abstract

A new version of the Netcool/OMNIbus SNMP Probe will be available to download from 30 October 2020.

Content

This version of the probe contains the following updates:

  • Changes to Net-SNMP library to remediate security vulnerabilities: CVE-2020-15861, CVE-2020-15862

This version of the probe contains fixes for the following APARs:

  • IJ24466: Fixed issue whereby the probe responded with incorrect acknowledgment for SNMP Informs with AES, AES-192 and AES-256 privacy types, hence causing timeout error to the sender.
  • IJ26463: Fixed issue of ProbeWatch events for updating engine_boot or engine_time might get deduplicated, causing only either one of engine_boot or engine_time being corrected but not both.
  • IJ27412: : Fixed file leak issue with the persistent configuration file when ConfPath property is unset. To avoid this issue, the probe will now disable the SnmpConfigChangeDetectionInterval feature when the ConfPath property value is unset or empty.
  • IJ22889: Fixed issue in which the probe could not start due to a required file (mttrapd.conf) not being created by users, especially users who are not using SNMP V3. The file mttrapd.conf with example in remarked form is now bundled together and will be installed alongside.
