The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • net-snmp: A buffer overflow in the handling of the INDEX of NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB can cause an out-of-bounds memory access. (CVE-2022-24805)

  • net-snmp: A malformed OID in a SET to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
    (CVE-2022-24810)

  • net-snmp provides various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol. Prior to version 5.9.2, a user with read-write credentials can exploit an Improper Input Validation vulnerability when SETing malformed OIDs in master agent and subagent simultaneously. Version 5.9.2 contains a patch. Users should use strong SNMPv3 credentials and avoid sharing the credentials. Those who must use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c should use a complex community string and enhance the protection by restricting access to a given IP address range. (CVE-2022-24806)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
