SuSE: net-snmp (SUSE-SA:2008:039)

LinuxSecurity.com: The net-snmp daemon implements the "simple network management protocol". The version 3 of SNMP as implemented in net-snmp uses the length of the HMAC in a packet to verify against a local HMAC for authentication. An attacker can therefore send a SNMPv3 packet with a one byte HMAC and guess the correct first byte of the local HMAC with 256 packets (max).

net-snmp-config

net-snmp-config(1)						     Net-SNMP							net-snmp-config(1)

NAME

       net-snmp-config - returns information about installed net-snmp libraries and binaries

SYNOPSIS

       net-snmp-config [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The  net-snmp-config  shell  script is designed to retrieve the configuration information about the libraries and binaries dealing with the
       Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), built from the net-snmp source package. The information is particularily useful for applications
       that need to link against the SNMP libraries and hence must know about any other libraries that must be linked in as well.

OPTIONS

       --version
	      displays the net-snmp version number

       --indent-options
	      displays the indent options from the Coding Style

       --debug-tokens
	      displays a example command line to search to source code for a list of available debug tokens

       SNMP Setup commands:

       --create-snmpv3-user [-ro] [-a authpass] [-x privpass] [-X DES|AES]
	      [-A MD5|SHA] [username]

       These options produce the various compilation flags needed when building external SNMP applications:

       --base-cflags
	      lists additional compilation flags needed for external applications (excludes -I. and extra developer warning flags, if any)

       --cflags
	      lists additional compilation flags needed

       --libs lists libraries needed for building applications

       --agent-libs
	      lists libraries needed for building subagents

       --netsnmp-libs
	      lists netsnmp specific libraries

       --external-libs
	      lists libraries needed by netsnmp libs

       --netsnmp-agent-libs
	      lists netsnmp specific agent libraries

       --external-agent-libs lists libraries needed by netsnmp libs

       Automated subagent building (produces an OUTPUTNAME binary file): [This feature has not been extensively tested,  use at your own risk.]

       --compile-subagent OUTPUTNAME [--norm] [--cflags flags]
	      [--ldflags flags] mibmodule1.c [...]]

       --norm leave the generated .c file around to read.

       --cflags flags
	      extra cflags to use (e.g. -I...).

       --ldflags flags
	      extra ld flags to use (e.g. -L... -l...).

	      Details on how the net-nsmp package was compiled:

       --configure-options
	      Display original configure arguments

       --snmpd-module-list
	      Display the modules compiled into the agent

       --prefix
	      Display the installation prefix
