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. pva@gentoo.org 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. rbu@gentoo.org 2008-07-03 00:40:12 0000 A later version including the same patch has been stabled in bug 225105. rbu@gentoo.org 2008-08-06 00:30:36 0000 GLSA 200808-02
