The snmp_pdu_parse function in snmp_api.c in net-snmp 5.7.2 and earlier does not remove the varBind variable in a netsnmp_variable_list item when parsing of the SNMP PDU fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-5621)

Qinghao Tang reports :

Incompletely initialized vulnerability exists in the function 'snmp_pdu_parse()' of 'snmp_api.c', and remote attackers can cause memory leak, DOS and possible command executions by sending malicious packets.

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2015-441:02 advisory.

    SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for     network management. The NET-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools:
    an extensible agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting     information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP     traps and a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP. This     package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc.
    NET-SNMP utilities will be installed when the net-snmp-utils package is installed successfully.
    With this release, following issue is fixed:
    * CVE-2015-5621:
    This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that     will use it when announcing a new security problem.  When the     candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be     provided.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Updated net-snmp packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

The net-snmp packages provide various libraries and tools for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), including an SNMP library, an extensible agent, tools for requesting or setting information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl Management Information Base (MIB) browser.

It was discovered that the snmp_pdu_parse() function could leave incompletely parsed varBind variables in the list of variables. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash snmpd or, potentially, execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the user running snmpd. (CVE-2015-5621)

Red Hat would like to thank Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 company, China for reporting this issue.

All net-snmp users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue.

net-snmp was updated to fix one security vulnerability and several bugs.

  - fix a vulnerability within the snmp_pdu_parse() function     of snmp_api.c. (bnc#940188, CVE-2015-5621)

  - Add build requirement 'procps' to fix a net-snmp-config     error. (bsc#935863)

  - add support for /dev/shm in snmp hostmib (bnc#853382,     FATE#316893).

  - stop snmptrapd on package removal.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 / 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2015-1636 advisory.

    [1:5.5-54.0.1.el6_7.1]
    - Add Oracle ACFS to hrStorage (John Haxby) [orabug 18510373]

    [1:5.5-54.el6_7.1]
    - Fixed parsing of invalid variables in incoming packets (#1248410)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The following issues have been fixed within this update :

  - fix btrfs output inside     HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageDescr. (bsc#909479)

  - fix an incompletely initialized vulnerability within the     snmp_pdu_parse() function of snmp_api.c. (bsc#940188,     CVE-2015-5621)

  - add build requirement 'procps' to fix a net-snmp-config     error (bsc#935863)

  - --disable-md5 to allow operation in FIPS mode and not     use the old algorithm (bsc#935876 bsc#940084)

  - also stop snmptrapd on removal

According to the versions of the net-snmp packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - It was discovered that the snmp_pdu_parse() mishandles     error codes and is vulnerable to a heap corruption     within the parsing of the PDU prior to the     authentication process. A remote, unauthenticated     attacker could use this flaw to crash snmpd or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code on the system with     the privileges of the user running     snmpd.(CVE-2018-1000116)

  - snmp_oid_compare in snmplib/snmp_api.c in Net-SNMP     before 5.8 has a NULL Pointer Exception bug that can be     used by an unauthenticated attacker to remotely cause     the instance to crash via a crafted UDP packet,     resulting in Denial of Service.(CVE-2018-18066)

  - It was discovered that the snmp_pdu_parse() function     could leave incompletely parsed varBind variables in     the list of variables. A remote, unauthenticated     attacker could use this flaw to crash snmpd or,     potentially, execute arbitrary code on the system with     the privileges of the user running     snmpd.(CVE-2015-5621)
