TITLE:
CMU SNMP snmptrapd Format String Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA18525

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18525/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
From local network

SOFTWARE:
CMU SNMP 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/6844/

DESCRIPTION:
Seregorn has reported a vulnerability in CMU SNMP, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and
potentially to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a format string error in
"snmptrapd" in the handling of a SNMP trap request packet. This can
be exploited to crash the service and may allow arbitrary code
execution via a specially-crafted SNMP trap request sent to port
162/udp.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.6 and 3.7. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
The product is no longer being maintained. Use another product.
