Description:   Opened: 2008-05-15 14:48 0000 
Secunia:
A vulnerability has been reported in Net-snmp, which potentially can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"__snprint_value()" function in perl/SNMP/SNMP.xs. This can be exploited to
cause a buffer overflow in an application using the Net-snmp Perl module by
tricking the user into connecting to a malicious SNMP agent.

The vulnerability is reported in version 5.4.1. Other versions may also be
affected.

------- Comment #1 From Peter Volkov 2008-06-06 20:05:00 0000 ------- 
Thank you Robert for report. This is fixed in net-snmp-5.4.1-r4. But please,
don't stabilize it now as we have one more security issue pending and I'd like
to stabilize them in one go.

------- Comment #2 From Robert Buchholz 2008-07-03 00:40:12 0000 ------- 
A later version including the same patch has been stabled in bug 225105.
