The following table shares brief descriptions for the vulnerabilities addressed in this document.
| Vulnerability ID | Vulnerability Description |
|---|---|
| CVE-2019-20892 |
net-snmp before 5.8.1.pre1 has a double free in usm_free_usmStateReference in snmplib/snmpusm.c via an SNMPv3 GetBulk request. NOTE: this affects net-snmp packages shipped to end users by multiple Linux distributions, but might not affect an upstream release. |
| CVE-2018-18065 |
_set_key in agent/helpers/table_container.c in Net-SNMP before 5.8 has a NULL Pointer Exception bug that can be used by an authenticated attacker to remotely cause the instance to crash via a crafted UDP packet, resulting in Denial of Service. |
| CVE-2018-18066 |
snmp_oid_compare in snmplib/snmp_api.c in Net-SNMP before 5.8 has a NULL Pointer Exception bug that can be used by an unauthenticated attacker to remotely cause the instance to crash via a crafted UDP packet, resulting in Denial of Service. |
| CVE-2012-6151 |
Net-SNMP 5.7.1 and earlier, when AgentX is registering to handle a MIB and processing GETNEXT requests, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or infinite loop, CPU consumption, and hang) by causing the AgentX subagent to timeout. |
| CVE-2012-2141 |
Array index error in the handle_nsExtendOutput2Table function in agent/mibgroup/agent/extend.c in Net-SNMP 5.7.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and snmpd crash) via an SNMP GET request for an entry not in the extension table. |
