Package: snmpd Version: 5.2.3-7 Severity: important
(This bug may be related to #420876, but the subject is different and I don't know how to change it or link them together.) The snmpd service leaks memory to finaly get killed (!) by the memory manager. It's perfectly reproducible on my server (firewall actually). I restarted the snmpd service once again this morning and here was it's status just after starting: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND snmp 22460 1.1 6.5 6916 4084 ? S 11:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid And this is it's status now, about 7 hours later: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND snmp 22460 0.1 16.8 14620 10456 ? S 11:40 0:47 /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid This snmpd is running a very simple configuration, only to serve MRTG. There is no call to external programs or trap management either. The memory is growing by a few 10th kilobytes on every single request. I did strace it but I was not able to find anything clearly wrong. The only clue I have found is that we can clearly see the heap allocation growing in "/proc/$(pidof snmpd)/smaps". Hope this helps, cheers, J.C. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-vserver-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages snmpd depends on: ii adduser 3.102 Add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsensors3 1:2.10.1-3 library to read temperature/voltag ii libsnmp9 5.2.3-7 NET SNMP (Simple Network Managemen ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-13 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra snmpd recommends no packages. -- debconf information: * snmpd/upgradefrom521: snmpd/upgradefrom36: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
