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.");
