Discussion

Net-SNMP Perl Module Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Net-SNMP is prone 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 may allow attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of applications using the affected Net-SNMP Perl module. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

This issue affects Net-SNMP 5.4.1, 5.2.4, and 5.1.4; other versions may also be vulnerable.
