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.
