TencentOS Server 3: net-snmp (TSSA-2023:0072)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 239182

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2023:0072 advisory.

 Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

 CVE-2022-44792:
 A vulnerability was found in Net-SNMP. This issue occurs because the handle_ipDefaultTTL function in agent/mibgroup/ip-mib/ip_scalars.c in Net-SNMP has a NULL Pointer Exception flaw that allows a remote attacker (who has to write access) to cause the instance to crash via a crafted UDP packet, resulting in a denial of service.
 CVE-2022-44793:
 A flaw was found in Net-SNMP. This issue occurs because the handle_ipv6IpForwarding in agent/mibgroup/ip-mib/ip_scalars.c in Net-SNMP has a NULL Pointer Exception that could allow a remote attacker to cause the instance to crash via a crafted UDP packet, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
