Ubuntu Security Notice USN-685-1 - Wes Hardaker discovered that the SNMP service did not correctly validate HMAC authentication requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker could send specially crafted SNMPv3 traffic with a valid username and gain access to the user's views without a valid authentication passphrase. John Kortink discovered that the Net-SNMP Perl module did not correctly check the size of returned values. If a user or automated system were tricked into querying a malicious SNMP server, the application using the Perl module could be made to crash, leading to a denial of service. This did not affect Ubuntu 8.10. It was discovered that the SNMP service did not correctly handle large GETBULK requests. If an unauthenticated remote attacker sent a specially crafted request, the SNMP service could be made to crash, leading to a denial of service.

Debian Security Advisory 1663-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in NET SNMP, a suite of Simple Network Management Protocol applications. Wes Hardaker reported that the SNMPv3 HMAC verification relies on the client to specify the HMAC length, which allows spoofing of authenticated SNMPv3 packets. John Kortink reported a buffer overflow in the __snprint_value function in snmp_get causing a denial of service and potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code via a large OCTETSTRING in an attribute value pair (AVP). It was reported that an integer overflow in the netsnmp_create_subtree_cache function in agent/snmp_agent.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service attack via a crafted SNMP GETBULK request.

VMware Security Advisory - Updated ESX packages for OpenSSL, net-snmp, and perl have been released to address multiple vulnerabilities.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200808-02 - Wes Hardaker reported that the SNMPv3 HMAC verification relies on the client to specify the HMAC length (CVE-2008-0960). John Kortink reported a buffer overflow in the Perl bindings of Net-SNMP when processing the OCTETSTRING in an attribute value pair (AVP) received by an SNMP agent (CVE-2008-2292). Versions less than 5.4.1.1 are affected.

SUSE Security Announcement - The net-snmp daemon implements the "simple network management protocol". The version 3 of SNMP as implemented in net-snmp uses the length of the HMAC in a packet to verify against a local HMAC for authentication. An attacker can therefore send a SNMPv3 packet with a one byte HMAC and guess the correct first byte of the local HMAC with 256 packets (max).

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - A vulnerability was found in how Net-SNMP checked an SNMPv3 packet's Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC). An attacker could exploit this flaw to spoof an authenticated SNMPv3 packet. A buffer overflow was found in the perl bindings for Net-SNMP that could be exploited if an attacker could convince an application using the Net-SNMP perl modules to connect to a malicious SNMP agent.
