Debian Security Advisory DSA-1483-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Noah Meyerhans
February 06, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : net-snmp
Vulnerability : design error
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-5846

The SNMP agent (snmp_agent.c) in net-snmp before 5.4.1 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption)
via a GETBULK request with a large max-repeaters value.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.2.3-7etch2

For the unstable and testing distributions (sid and lenny,
respectively), this problem has been fixed in version 5.4.1~dfsg-2

We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.


Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch
- -------------------------------

Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
