34 Description
35 ===========
36
37 It was found that SNMP Trap Translator does not drop privileges as
38 configured and does not properly escape shell commands in certain
39 functions.
40
41 Impact
42 ======
43
44 A remote attacker, by sending a malicious crafted SNMP trap, could
45 possibly execute arbitrary shell code with the privileges of the
46 process or cause a Denial of Service condition.

51 There is no known workaround at this time.
52
53 Resolution
54 ==========
55

57
58 # emerge --sync
59 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/snmptt-1.4.1"
