  <title>net-snmp: Authorization bypass</title>
  <synopsis>

    net-snmp.

  <affected>
    <package name="net-analyzer/net-snmp" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">5.4.2.1-r1</unaffected>

  <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 &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.2.1-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
