The SNMP daemon included in the Net-SNMP package can be crashed |
15 |
if it attempts to process a specially crafted packet. Exploitation |
16 |
requires foreknowledge of a known SNMP community string (either |
17 |
read or read/write). This issue potentially affects any Net-SNMP |
18 |
installation in which the "public" read-only community string has not |
19 |
been changed. |
