Descriptions
The perl_trapd_handler function in perl/TrapReceiver/TrapReceiver.xs in Net-SNMP 5.7.3.pre3 and earlier, when using certain Perl versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via an empty community string in an SNMP trap, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference within the newSVpv function in Perl.
La función perl_trapd_handler en perl/TrapReceiver/TrapReceiver.xs en Net-SNMP 5.7.3.pre3 y anteriores, cuando utiliza ciertas versiones Perl, permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de snmptrapd) a través de una cadena de comunidad vacía en una trampa SNMP, lo que provoca una referencia a puntero nulo dentro de la función newSVpv en Perl.
Remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability in Net-SNMP, in the Linux implementation of the ICMP-MIB, making the SNMP agent vulnerable if it is making use of the ICMP-MIB table objects. Remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability in Net-SNMP, in snmptrapd, due to how it handles trap requests with an empty community string when the perl handler is enabled. A remote denial-of-service flaw was found in the way snmptrapd handled certain SNMP traps when started with the -OQ option. If an attacker sent an SNMP trap containing a variable with a NULL type where an integer variable type was expected, it would cause snmptrapd to crash.
