RedHat: RHSA-2018-2615:01 Moderate: collectd security update
Summary
collectd is a host-based system statistics collection daemon that gathersmetrics from various sources periodically, such as the operating system,
applications, log files and devices, and storage clusters. As the daemon
does not start up each time it updates files, it has a low system
footprint.
For Red Hat Gluster Storage Web Administration 3.4, collectd service is
responsible for gathering metrics from Red Hat Gluster Storage clusters.
The updated collectd package includes the following security bug fixes.

* collectd: Infinite loop due to incorrect interaction of parse_packet()
and parse_part_sign_sha256() functions (CVE-2017-7401)
* collectd: double free in csnmp_read_table function in snmp.c
(CVE-2017-16820)
