CA eTrust Directory SNMP Packet Parsing Denial of Service

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 6104

Synopsis

The remote directory service is vulnerable to a denial of service attack.

Description

The remote host is running CA eTrust Directory Server, a directory service application from CA.

Versions of CA eTrust Directory 8.1, and R12 earlier than service pack 7 CR1 are potentially affected by a denial of service vulnerability due to the way the application parses SNMP packets. A remote, unauthenticated attacker, exploiting this flaw, could crash the affected service.

Solution

Upgrade to CA eTrust Directory R12 SP7 CR1 or later.
