<background>
<p>
net-snmp bundles software for generating and retrieving SNMP data.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The netsnmp_udp_fmtaddr() function (snmplib/snmpUDPDomain.c), when
using TCP wrappers for client authorization, does not properly parse
hosts.allow rules.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote, unauthenticated attacker could bypass the ACL filtering,
possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary SNMP queries.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
If possible, protect net-snmp with custom iptables rules:
</p>
<code>
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</code>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All net-snmp users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-r1"</code>
</resolution>
