Discussion

CMU SNMP SNMPTRAPD Daemon Remote Format String Vulnerability

A remote format string vulnerability affects the CMU SNMP's snmptrapd daemon. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input data prior to using it in a formatted-printing function.

A remote attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges, facilitating the complete compromise of affected computers.

It should be noted that CMU SNMP has not been actively maintained for several years.
