Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

CVE-2002-1570 describes a heap-based buffer overflow in the snmpnetstat driver for ucd-snmp version 4.2.3 and earlier, as well as net-snmp. Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by sending multiple getnextrequest PDU messages with conflicting ifindex variables, causing snmpnetstat to write variable data past the end of an array.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, posing a serious security threat to systems using the affected software versions. Organizations may face data loss or system takeover.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of ucd-snmp or net-snmp to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, monitoring and restricting access to SNMP services can help minimize risk.
