DSA-873-1 net-snmp -- programming error

Date Reported:
26 Oct 2005
Affected Packages:
net-snmp
Vulnerable:
Yes
Security database references:
In the Bugtraq database (at SecurityFocus): BugTraq ID 14168.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2005-2177.
More information:

A security vulnerability has been found in Net-SNMP releases that could allow a denial of service attack against Net-SNMP agents that have opened a stream based protocol (e.g. TCP but not UDP). By default, Net-SNMP does not open a TCP port.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a net-snmp package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 5.1.2-6.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 5.2.1.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp package.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 (sarge)
