    PACKAGE : ucd-snmp
    SUMMARY : Remote heap overflow vulnerability

    DESCRIPTION
     ucd-snmp is an implementation and a set of tools to deal with the
     Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is used for remote
     administration and monitoring of network devices and services.
     
     Axioma Security Research found[1] a remote heap overflow
     vulnerability[2] in snmpnetstat (a tool used to retrieve information
     about a remote host). When a list of interfaces is requested, a
     malicious server can return information in a way that will cause a
     heap overflow in snmpnetstat.
     
     A remote atacker able to control a snmp server can exploit this
     vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
     user running snmpnetstat.

    SOLUTION
     All ucd-snmp users should upgrade.
