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.
