Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-1285-01 - collectd is a small C-language daemon, which reads various system metrics periodically and updates RRD files. 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. Security Fix: collectd contains an infinite loop due to how the parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions interact. If an instance of collectd is configured with "SecurityLevel None" and with empty "AuthFile" options an attacker can send crafted UDP packets that trigger the infinite loop, causing a denial of service.

=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for collectd is now available for RHEV 4.X RHEV-H and Agents for
RHEL-7 and RHEV Engine version 4.1.

RHV-M 4.1 - 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.
The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
collectd (5.7.1). (BZ#1446472)
Security Fix(es):
* collectd contains an infinite loop due to how the parse_packet() and
parse_part_sign_sha256() functions interact. If an instance of collectd is
configured with "SecurityLevel None" and with empty "AuthFile" options an
attacker can send crafted UDP packets that trigger the infinite loop,
causing a denial of service. (CVE-2017-7401)
4. Solution:

described in this advisory, refer to:

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
1439674 - CVE-2017-7401 collectd: Infinite loop due to incorrect interaction of parse_packet() and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions
1446472 - Upgrade collectd to 5.7.1
