Synopsis
=======
A remote attacker can bypass the tcp-wrappers client authorization in
net-snmp.
Background
=========
net-snmp bundles software for generating and retrieving SNMP data.
Affected packages
================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-analyzer/net-snmp < 5.4.2.1-r1 >= 5.4.2.1-r1
Description
==========
The netsnmp_udp_fmtaddr() function (snmplib/snmpUDPDomain.c), when
using TCP wrappers for client authorization, does not properly parse
hosts.allow rules.
Impact
=====
A remote, unauthenticated attacker could bypass the ACL filtering,
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SNMP queries.
Workaround
=========
If possible, protect net-snmp with custom iptables rules:
iptables -s [client] -d [host] -p udp --dport 161 -j ACCEPT
iptables -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d [host] -p udp --dport 161 -j DROP
Resolution
=========
All net-snmp users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-r1"
