Description:
------------
A bug in the source of php-snmp causes use of AES privacy encryption impossible.

Reproduce code:
---------------
//Assuming snmpd is configured appropriately for the user

$result = snmp3_walk("localhost", "user", "authPriv", "sha", "passphrase", "AES", "passphrase",  "system", 1000000, 10);
print_r($result);

Expected result:
----------------
//The output of the system OID
Array
(
  [0] => STRING: Linux smoynes 2.6.11.4-21.10-smp #1 SMP Tue Nov 29 14:32:49 UTC 2005 i686
...
)


Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  %v%v(): An error occurred, quitting in aes_test.php on line 3

In snmp.c, one cannot use the OIDSIZE macro for the usmAES128PrivProtocol symbol because it is defined as a oid pointer to usmAESPrivProtocol, not an oid array.
The fix is to change all OIDSIZE(usmAES128PrivProtocol) expressions to USM_PRIV_PROTO_AES_LEN.
This is with net-snmp; not sure about ucd-snmp.

We would appreciate a patch in unified diff format.

From what I can see with this patch you're breaking support of SNMP < 5.2. Am I right?
 [2006-05-24 18:55 UTC] scott dot moynes+php at gmail dot com 
I cannot confirm without compiling and my employer is not paying me to do that.

However, I do not think so. The patch only modifies the code within the #ifdef SNMP_VALIDATE_ERROR block and that macro was introduced in net-snmp 5.2; the #else block for net-snmp < 5.2 remains unchanged. By inspection of the source code of net-snmp 5.1, I have ensured that the OIDSIZE macro is appropriate for those releases, ie. usmAES128PrivProtocol is an array of oid values.

I have not confirmed that it does not create a compatibility problem for ucd-snmp, but I do not think so because it does not support AES and so the HAVE_AES macro will not be set.

So, by exhaustion of cases, I believe this patch does not break compatibility.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
