EulerOS 2.0 SP9 : net-snmp (EulerOS-SA-2020-2179)

high Nessus Plugin ID 141335

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - 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, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl mib browser. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc. You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package, which contains NET-SNMP utilities.Security Fix(es):Net-SNMP through 5.7.3 has Improper Privilege Management because SNMP WRITE access to the EXTEND MIB provides the ability to run arbitrary commands as root.(CVE-2020-15862)Net-SNMP through 5.7.3 allows Escalation of Privileges because of UNIX symbolic link (symlink) following.(CVE-2020-15861)

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

Solution

Update the affected net-snmp packages.
