SNMP: Community Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in several SNMP implementations. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.
Extended Description
Net-SNMP is prone a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized buffer. Exploiting this issue may allow attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of applications using the affected Net-SNMP Perl module. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. This issue affects Net-SNMP 5.4.1, 5.2.4, and 5.1.4; other versions may also be vulnerable.
