------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pardus Linux Security Advisory 2008-65            security@...dus.org.tr
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Date: 2008-11-05
  Severity: 2
      Type: Remote
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary
=======

A bug in the getbulk handling code could let anyone with  even  minimal 
access crash the agent. 

Description
===========

The getbulk code in net-snmp 5.4 before 5.4.2.1, 5.3 before 5.3.2.3, and
5.2 before 5.2.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service 
(crash) via vectors related to the number of responses or repeats. 

Affected packages:

  Pardus 2008:
    net-snmp, all before 5.4.1-7-3
    net-snmptrap, all before 5.4.1-7-3

Resolution
==========

There are update(s) for net-snmp, net-snmptrap. You can update them via 
Package Manager or with a single command from console: 

    pisi up net-snmp net-snmptrap
