MiracleLinux 4 : net-snmp-5.5-49.AXS4.1.0.1 (AXSA:2014-203:02)

high Nessus Plugin ID 290078

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2014-203:02 advisory.

 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 and a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP. This package contains the snmpd and snmptrapd daemons, documentation, etc.
 You will probably also want to install the net-snmp-utils package, which contains NET-SNMP utilities.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2014-2284 The Linux implementation of the ICMP-MIB in Net-SNMP 5.5 before 5.5.2.1, 5.6.x before 5.6.2.1, and 5.7.x before 5.7.2.1 does not properly validate input, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.
 Fixed bugs:
 Introduced the new 'diskio' option in the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file: it is used to specify which devices should be monitored; then only those will be reported in the UCD-DISKIO-MIB::diskIOTable, which will greatly speed up snmpd on systems with numerous block devices.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
