-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : ucd-snmp SUMMARY : Remote heap overflow vulnerability DATE : 2003-07-15 15:03:00 ID : CLA-2003:696 RELEVANT RELEASES : 7.0, 8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION ucd-snmp is an implementation and a set of tools to deal with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is used for remote administration and monitoring of network devices and services. Axioma Security Research found[1] a remote heap overflow vulnerability[2] in snmpnetstat (a tool used to retrieve information about a remote host). When a list of interfaces is requested, a malicious server can return information in a way that will cause a heap overflow in snmpnetstat. A remote atacker able to control a snmp server can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running snmpnetstat. SOLUTION All ucd-snmp users should upgrade.
