Discussion

Nagios Plugins SNMP GET Reply Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Nagios Plugins are prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer.

Exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of users running the affected software.
