| /// File Name: | USN-685-1.txt | Description:
| Ubuntu Security Notice USN-685-1 - Wes Hardaker discovered that the SNMP service did not correctly validate HMAC authentication requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker could send specially crafted SNMPv3 traffic with a valid username and gain access to the user's views without a valid authentication passphrase. John Kortink discovered that the Net-SNMP Perl module did not correctly check the size of returned values. If a user or automated system were tricked into querying a malicious SNMP server, the application using the Perl module could be made to crash, leading to a denial of service. This did not affect Ubuntu 8.10. It was discovered that the SNMP service did not correctly handle large GETBULK requests. If an unauthenticated remote attacker sent a specially crafted request, the SNMP service could be made to crash, leading to a denial of service. | | Homepage: | http://security.ubuntu.com/ | | File Size: | 22597 | | Related CVE(s): | CVE-2008-0960, CVE-2008-2292, CVE-2008-4309 | | Last Modified: | Dec 3 21:50:13 2008 | | MD5 Checksum: | 160150a1aec9ec4fbae385d4790925ed |
