39 Net-SNMP is a collection of tools for generating and retrieving SNMP
40 data.
41 </p>
42 </background>
43 <description>
44 <p>
45 The SNMP agent (snmpd) does not properly handle GETBULK requests with
46 an overly large "max-repetitions" field.
47 </p>
48 </description>
49 <impact type="normal">
50 <p>
51 A remote unauthenticated attacker could send a specially crafted SNMP
52 request to the vulnerable application, possibly resulting in a high CPU
53 and memory consumption.
54 </p>
55 </impact>
56 <workaround>
57 <p>
58 There is no known workaround at this time.
59 </p>
60 </workaround>
61 <resolution>
62 <p>
63 All Net-SNMP users should upgrade to the latest version:
64 </p>
65 <code>
66 # emerge --sync
67 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.1-r1&quot;</code>
