Description:
A security issue has been reported in the 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 family, which can be exploited by malicious people to gain knowledge of sensitive information.
The problem is caused due to an error in the handling of certain management packets, which may cause the network device to disclose the SNMP Read-Write community string.
This can further be exploited to perform various actions on the switch including disabling of ports or reconfiguration of the VLAN.
Successful exploitation requires access to the management VLAN.
The security issue is reported in 3Com SS3 4400/4400PWR/4400SE/4400FX firmware versions 5.11, 6.00, and 6.10 or prior.
Solution:
An update is reportedly available for customers with a software maintenance agreement or via the 3Com Partner Access site.
