Descriptions
The snmp_pdu_parse function in snmp_api.c in net-snmp 5.7.2 and earlier does not remove the varBind variable in a netsnmp_variable_list item when parsing of the SNMP PDU fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet.
Vulnerabilidad en la función snmp_pdu_parse en snmp_api.c en net-snmp 5.7.2 y versiones anteriores, no elimina la variable varBind en un elemento netsnmp_variable_list cuando falla el análisis gramatical del SNMP PDU, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un paquete manipulado.
It was discovered that the snmp_pdu_parse() function could leave incompletely parsed varBind variables in the list of variables. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash snmpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the user running snmpd.
