COMMAND

    snmp.exe

SYSTEMS AFFECTED

    Win NT 4.0

PROBLEM

    There is SNMP memory leak.  Your workstation will eventually crash
    with error messages indicating exhaustion of virtual memory.   The
    SNMP service will consume about 15MB of RAM and 19MB of VM per day
    until it  finally crashes  the system.   It usually  uses about 70
    handles  and  4  threads.   The  amount  of  NonPagedPool   memory
    consumption is about 67K  and the amount of  PagedPool consumption
    is  about  18K.   This  occurs  on  workstation  and  server class
    machines.  This affects NT 4.0 SP3 + all hotfixes (land last HF).

    Some SNMP subagents may leak memory when they receive non-null ASN
    types  in  GET  or  GETNEXT  requests.  This  can  be  observed by
    monitoring SNMP/Private Bytes in Performance Monitor.
