Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of net-snmp installed on the remote host is prior to 5.7.2-49. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2366 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in net-snmp. A buffer overflow in the handling of the INDEX of NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB can cause an out-of-bounds memory access issue. (CVE-2022-24805)

 - A flaw was found in net-snmp. This issue occurs due to improper input validation when simultaneously setting malformed OIDs in the master agent and subagent. (CVE-2022-24806)

 - A flaw was found in net-snmp. A malformed OID in a SET request to the SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM- MIB::vacmAccessTable can cause an out-of-bounds memory access issue. (CVE-2022-24807)

 - A flaw was found in net-snmp. A malformed OID in a SET request to NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsLogTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference issue. (CVE-2022-24808)

 - A flaw was found in net-snmp. A malformed OID in a GET-NEXT to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference issue. (CVE-2022-24809)

 - A flaw was found in net-snmp. A malformed OID in a SET to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference issue. (CVE-2022-24810)
