Fixed In Version: net-snmp-5.5-44.el6_4.2 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Net-SNMP did not check that incoming SNMP messages are encoded properly and may have read past the receiving buffer size when parsing a message with invalid size of integer filed in the message. Consequence: snmptrapd, the SNMP trap processing daemon, crashed on incoming malformed message. Fix: We enhanced the checks of incoming messages. Result: snmptrapd no longer crashes when parsing incoming message with invalid integer sizes.
