Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2005-0034
Package name: net-snmp, zlib
Summary: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: 2005-07-08
Affected versions: Trustix Secure Linux 2.2

Package description:
net-snmp:
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.
zlib:
The zlib compression library provides in-memory compression and
decompression functions, including integrity checks of the uncompressed
data.
Problem description:
net-snmp:
Fixed a denial of service vulnerability when stream sockets have
been configured for use (E.G., TCP but not UDP). Bug#1038
zlib:
Security Fix: This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error when
processing a malformed data stream, which could be exploited by
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted compressed
stream embedded within network communication or an application file format.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2005-2096.
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
