Synopsis:	Important: net-snmp security update
Issue date:	2008-11-03
CVE Names:	CVE-2008-4309

A denial-of-service flaw was found in the way Net-SNMP processes SNMP
GETBULK requests. A remote attacker who issued a specially-crafted request
could cause the snmpd server to crash. (CVE-2008-4309)

Note: An attacker must have read access to the SNMP server in order to
exploit this flaw. In the default configuration, the community name
"public" grants read-only access. In production deployments, it is
recommended to change this default community name.
