Vigil@nce: Net-SNMP, denial of service via GETBULK

November 2008 by Vigil@nce

SYNTHESIS

An attacker can create a denial of service by requesting numerous
data with GETBULK.

Gravity: 2/4

Consequences: denial of service of service

Provenance: intranet client

Means of attack: no proof of concept, no attack

Ability of attacker: expert (4/4)

Confidence: confirmed by the editor (5/5)

Diffusion of the vulnerable configuration: high (3/3)

Creation date: 03/11/2008

IMPACTED PRODUCTS

 Debian Linux
 Fedora
 Mandriva Corporate
 Mandriva Linux
 Net-SNMP
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux

DESCRIPTION

The SNMP protocol defines several query types:
 SET : change a parameter
 GET : read a parameter
 GETNEXT : obtain the next parameter
 GETBULK : repeat GETNEXT, until a maximum indicated in the query

However, when Net-SNMP receives a GETBULK query, it does not
correctly calculates the needed size of a reply buffer, which thus
overflows.

An attacker, allowed to send queries via a public community for
example, can thus create a denial of service. To execute code, the
attacker has to control the contents of data returned by Net-SNMP.
