Synopsis: Moderate: net-snmp security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:0322-1
Issue Date: 2014-03-24
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-6151
 CVE-2014-2285
--

A denial of service flaw was found in the way snmpd, the Net-SNMP daemon,
handled subagent timeouts. A remote attacker able to trigger a subagent
timeout could use this flaw to cause snmpd to loop infinitely or crash.
(CVE-2012-6151)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the snmptrapd service, which
receives and logs SNMP trap messages, handled SNMP trap requests with an
empty community string when the Perl handler (provided by the net-snmp-
perl package) was enabled. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash
snmptrapd by sending a trap request with an empty community string.
(CVE-2014-2285)

After installing this update, the snmpd and snmptrapd services will be
restarted automatically.
