Description mwlucas 2019-11-19 13:45:55 UTC
I can reliably crash net-snmp with an snmpset. 

$ uname -a
FreeBSD freebsdtest 12.0-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10 GENERIC  amd64

$ pkg info net-snmp
net-snmp-5.7.3_20,1
Name           : net-snmp
Version        : 5.7.3_20,1
Installed on   : Wed Oct  9 15:22:24 2019 EDT
...

Detail:

$ sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0

$ snmpget freebsd IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)

$ snmpset freebsd IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 i 1
Timeout: No Response from freebsd

Yep, the agent is dead:

$ pgrep snmpd
$

The sysctl change took place, however:

$ sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1

I can restart the agent and reverse the change, but snmpd crashes
again.

This should probably go to the net-snmp developers:

Comment 2 Eugene Grosbein freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-11-19 19:43:01 UTC
Can you share your configuration for snmpd? With default example config, I cannot even do snmpget for ipForwarding:

# snmpget -v1 -c public localhost IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0

(In reply to Ryan Steinmetz from comment #1)

Ryan, there is some problem with configure stage of net-snmp-5.7.3_20,1.

The file net-mgmt/net-snmp/Makefile has a line:

NET_SNMP_WITHOUT_MIB_MODULE_LIST+=      mibII/ipv6

And it builds the daemon without mibII at all:

# make configure >log 2>&1
# egrep -i 'mibII|ipv6' log | head -8
NET_SNMP_WITH_MIB_MODULE_LIST="host disman/event-mib mibII/mta_sendmail mibII/tcpTable ucd-snmp/diskio sctp-mib if-mib smux"
NET_SNMP_WITHOUT_MIB_MODULE_LIST="mibII/ipv6 host ucd-snmp/memory"

Comment 5 Marcin Cieślak 2019-11-20 06:52:27 UTC
This MIB issue is probably unrelated. Instead you can try

$ snmpget freebsd .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1
Comment 6 Marcin Cieślak 2019-11-20 06:59:48 UTC
(In reply to Marcin Cieślak from comment #5)
er, sorry, that does not help
Comment 7 Eugene Grosbein freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-11-20 07:06:56 UTC
(In reply to Marcin Cieślak from comment #5)

It is definitely related as IP-MIB defined as sub-tree of mib-2:

ip       OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mib-2 4 }

$ snmpget -On -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0
$ snmpget -On -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1
Error in packet
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
Failed object: .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1

Comparing with another system running stock bsnmpd:

$ snmpget -On -v1 -c XXX syslog .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)
Comment 8 Marcin Cieślak 2019-11-21 01:18:55 UTC
I could reproduce this building net-snmp with the following make variables set

NET_SNMP_WITHOUT_MIB_MODULE_LIST=       mibII mibII/ip mibII/ipv6 mibII/tcpTable
NET_SNMP_WITH_MIB_MODULE_LIST=  ip-mib
Comment 9 Marcin Cieślak 2019-11-21 01:56:16 UTC
Created attachment 209306 [details]
fix crash when setting scalar variables in the ip-mib module

This was broken at least since 2012 and probably longer...

The patch attached fixes might fix this:

radziecki> sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=0
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1 -> 0
radziecki> snmpget -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0    
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)
radziecki> sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1              
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0 -> 1
radziecki> snmpget -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: forwarding(1)
radziecki> snmpset -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0 i 1
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: forwarding(1)
radziecki> sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding                    
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 1
radziecki> snmpset -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0 i 2
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: notForwarding(2)
radziecki> sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding                    
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0
radziecki> sudo sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
net.inet.ip.forwarding: 0 -> 1
radziecki> snmpget -v1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.1.0    
IP-MIB::ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: forwarding(1)
Comment 10 Ryan Steinmetz freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-09-12 13:03:18 UTC
Port updated to 5.9.  Hopefully this fix is included from upstream.
