ucd-snmp vulnerability Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - libsnmp4.2 - libsnmp4.2-dev Description : USN-190-1 fixed a vulnerability in the net-snmp library. It was discovered that the same problem also affects the ucs-snmp implementation (which is used by the Cyrus email server). Original advisory: A remote Denial of Service has been discovered in the SMNP (Simple Network Management Protocol) library. If a SNMP agent uses TCP sockets for communication, a malicious SNMP server could exploit this to crash the agent. Please note that by default SNMP uses UDP sockets. Solution : Upgrade to : - libsnmp4.2-4.2.5-5ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 5.10) - libsnmp4.2-dev-4.2.5-5ubuntu0.1 (Ubuntu 5.10) Network Security Threat Level: High Networks Security ID: Vulnerability Assessment Copyright: Ubuntu Security Notice (C) 2005 Canonical, Inc. / NASL script (C) 2005 Michel Arboi |
