Security Fix(es): https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/blob/v5.9.2/CHANGES CVE-2022-24809 A malformed OID in a GET-NEXT to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2022-24809) CVE-2022-24807 A malformed OID in a SET request to SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmAccessTable can cause an out-of-bounds memory access. https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/blob/v5.9.2/CHANGES(CVE-2022-24807) https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/blob/v5.9.2/CHANGES CVE-2022-24808 A malformed OID in a SET request to NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsLogTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference(CVE-2022-24808) +*5.9.2*: + security: + - These two CVEs can be exploited by a user with read-only credentials: + - CVE-2022-24805 A buffer overflow in the handling of the INDEX of + NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB can cause an out-of-bounds memory access. + - CVE-2022-24809 A malformed OID in a GET-NEXT to the nsVacmAccessTable + can cause a NULL pointer dereference. + - These CVEs can be exploited by a user with read-write credentials: + - CVE-2022-24806 Improper Input Validation when SETing malformed + OIDs in master agent and subagent simultaneously + - CVE-2022-24807 A malformed OID in a SET request to + SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmAccessTable can cause an + out-of-bounds memory access. + - CVE-2022-24808 A malformed OID in a SET request to + NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsLogTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference + - CVE-2022-24810 A malformed OID in a SET to the nsVacmAccessTable + can cause a NULL pointer dereference. + - To avoid these flaws, use strong SNMPv3 credentials and do not share them. + If you must use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, use a complex community string + and enhance the protection by restricting access to a given IP address range. + - Thanks are due to Yu Zhang of VARAS@IIE and Nanyu Zhong of VARAS@IIE for + reporting the following CVEs that have been fixed in this release, and + to Arista Networks for providing fixes.(CVE-2022-24805) https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/blob/v5.9.2/CHANGES CVE-2022-24810 A malformed OID in a SET to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference.(CVE-2022-24810) From https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/blob/v5.9.2/CHANGES CVE-2022-24806 Improper Input Validation when SETing malformed OIDs in master agent and subagent simultaneously(CVE-2022-24806)
