snmplib/mib.c in net-snmp 5.7.0 and earlier, when the -OQ option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via a crafted SNMP trap message, which triggers a conversion to the variable type designated in the MIB file, as demonstrated by a NULL type in an ifMtu trap message.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 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.

snmplib/mib.c in net-snmp 5.7.0 and earlier, when the -OQ option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via a crafted SNMP trap message, which triggers a conversion to the variable type designated in the MIB file, as demonstrated by a NULL type in an ifMtu trap message. (CVE-2014-3565)

A denial of service flaw was found in the way snmptrapd handled certain SNMP traps when started with the '-OQ' option. If an attacker sent an SNMP trap containing a variable with a NULL type where an integer variable type was expected, it would cause snmptrapd to crash.
(CVE-2014-3565)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Previously, the clientaddr option in the snmp.conf file     affected outgoing messages sent only over IPv4. With     this release, outgoing IPv6 messages are correctly sent     from the interface specified by clientaddr.

  - The Net-SNMP daemon, snmpd, did not properly clean     memory when reloading its configuration file with     multiple 'exec' entries. Consequently, the daemon     terminated unexpectedly. Now, the memory is properly     cleaned, and snmpd no longer crashes on reload.

  - Prior to this update, snmpd did not parse complete IPv4     traffic statistics, but reported the number of received     or sent bytes in the IP- MIB::ipSystemStatsTable only     for IPv6 packets and not for IPv4. This affected objects     ipSystemStatsInOctets, ipSystemStatsOutOctets,     ipSystemStatsInMcastOctets, and     ipSystemStatsOutMcastOctets. Now, the statistics     reported by snmpd are collected for IPv4 as well.

  - The Net-SNMP daemon, snmpd, did not correctly detect the     file system change from read-only to read-write.
    Consequently, after remounting the file system into the     read-write mode, the daemon reported it to be still in     the read-only mode. A patch has been applied, and snmpd     now detects the mode changes as expected.

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

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201507-17 (SNMP: Denial of Service)

    A specially crafted trap message triggers a conversion to an erroneous       variable type when the -OQ option is used.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2711-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Net-SNMP incorrectly handled certain trap messages when the -OQ option was used. A     remote attacker could use this issue to cause Net-SNMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2014-3565)

    Qinghao Tang discovered that Net-SNMP incorrectly handled SNMP PDU parsing failures. A remote attacker     could use this issue to cause Net-SNMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5621)

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

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

A denial of service flaw was found in the way snmptrapd handled certain SNMP traps when started with the '-OQ' option. If an attacker sent an SNMP trap containing a variable with a NULL type where an integer variable type was expected, it would cause snmptrapd to crash.
(CVE-2014-3565)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - The HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemProcesses object was not     implemented because parts of the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB     module were rewritten in an earlier version of net-snmp.
    Consequently, HOST-RESOURCES- MIB::hrSystemProcesses did     not provide information on the number of currently     loaded or running processes. With this update,     HOST-RESOURCES- MIB::hrSystemProcesses has been     implemented, and the net-snmp daemon reports as     expected.

  - The Net-SNMP agent daemon, snmpd, reloaded the system     ARP table every 60 seconds. As a consequence, snmpd     could cause a short CPU usage spike on busy systems with     a large APR table. With this update, snmpd does not     reload the full ARP table periodically, but monitors the     table changes using a netlink socket.

  - Previously, snmpd used an invalid pointer to the current     time when periodically checking certain conditions     specified by the 'monitor' option in the     /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf file. Consequently, snmpd     terminated unexpectedly on start with a segmentation     fault if a certain entry with the 'monitor' option was     used. Now, snmpd initializes the correct pointer to the     current time, and snmpd no longer crashes on start.

  - Previously, snmpd expected 8-bit network interface     indices when processing     HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrDeviceTable. If an interface index     of a local network interface was larger than 30,000     items, snmpd could terminate unexpectedly due to     accessing invalid memory. Now, processing of all network     sizes is enabled, and snmpd no longer crashes in the     described situation.

  - The snmpdtrapd service incorrectly checked for errors     when forwarding a trap with a RequestID value of 0, and     logged 'Forward failed' even though the trap was     successfully forwarded. This update fixes snmptrapd     checks and the aforementioned message is now logged only     when appropriate.

  - Previously, snmpd ignored the value of the     'storageUseNFS' option in the /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf     file. As a consequence, NFS drivers were shown as     'Network Disks', even though 'storageUseNFS' was set to     '2' to report them as 'Fixed Disks' in     HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageTable. With this update,     snmpd takes the 'storageUseNFS' option value into     account, and 'Fixed Disks' NFS drives are reported     correctly.

  - Previously, the Net-SNMP python binding used an     incorrect size (8 bytes instead of 4) for variables of     IPADDRESS type. Consequently, applications that were     using Net-SNMP Python bindings could send malformed SNMP     messages. With this update, the bindings now use 4 bytes     for variables with IPADRESS type, and only valid SNMP     messages are sent.

  - Previously, the snmpd service did not cut values in     HOST-RESOURCES- MIB::hrStorageTable to signed 32-bit     integers, as required by SNMP standards, and provided     the values as unsigned integers. As a consequence, the     HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrStorageTable implementation did     not conform to RFC 2790. The values are now cut to     32-bit signed integers, and snmpd is therefore standard     compliant.

Murray McAllister reports :

  - net-snmp: snmptrapd crash when handling an SNMP trap containing a ifMtu with a NULL type (CVE-2014-3565)

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 fix security vulnerabilities :

Remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability in Net-SNMP, in the Linux implementation of the ICMP-MIB, making the SNMP agent vulnerable if it is making use of the ICMP-MIB table objects (CVE-2014-2284).

Remotely exploitable denial of service vulnerability in Net-SNMP, in snmptrapd, due to how it handles trap requests with an empty community string when the perl handler is enabled (CVE-2014-2285).

A remote denial-of-service flaw was found in the way snmptrapd handled certain SNMP traps when started with the -OQ option. If an attacker sent an SNMP trap containing a variable with a NULL type where an integer variable type was expected, it would cause snmptrapd to crash (CVE-2014-3565).

    -OQ option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via a crafted SNMP     trap message, which triggers a conversion to the     variable type designated in the MIB file, as     demonstrated by a NULL type in an ifMtu trap message.
    (CVE-2014-3565)

Updated net-snmp packages fix security vulnerabilities :

A remote denial-of-service flaw was found in the way snmptrapd handled certain SNMP traps when started with the -OQ option. If an attacker sent an SNMP trap containing a variable with a NULL type where an integer variable type was expected, it would cause snmptrapd to crash (CVE-2014-3565).

Update package fixes following bugs :

  - CVE-2014-3565 net-snmp: snmptrapd crash when handling an     SNMP trap containing a ifMtu with a NULL type

    - net-snmp-cert now works without net-snmp-devel package       installed

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

net-snmp was updated to fix a remote denial of service problem inside snmptrapd when started with the '-OQ' option (CVE-2014-3565)(bnc#894361)

This update for net-snmp fixes a remote denial of service problem inside snmptrapd when it is started with the '-OQ' option.
(CVE-2014-3565, bnc#894361)

Additionally, a timeout issue during SNMP MIB walk on OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24 when using newer (v5.5+) versions of snmpwalk has been fixed. (bnc#865222)
