OVERVIEW |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables |
| 14 |
monitoring and configuration of network nodes. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
The Oulu University Secure Programming Group performed |
| 17 |
a vulnerability assessment of various SNMP implementations through syntax |
| 18 |
testing and test-suite creation. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The test-suite showed several failures in the ucd-snmp tools in version |
| 21 |
4.2.2 and earlier. These vulnerabilities can cause denial-of-service |
| 22 |
conditions, service interruptions, and in some cases could result in a |
| 23 |
remote security breach. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has |
| 26 |
assigned the names CAN-2002-0012 and CAN-2002-0013 to these issues. |
