Required action: Apply updates per vendor instructions.
CVE-2017-6742
HighCVSS 8.8KEVSummary
Podatność w implementacji SNMP może pozwolić uwierzytelnionemu, zdalnemu atakującemu na spowodowanie przeładowania systemu lub zdalne wykonanie kodu. Atakujący może wykorzystać tę podatność, wysyłając spreparowany pakiet SNMP do dotkniętego urządzenia.
Risk Assessment
Podatność ta może prowadzić do pełnej kontroli nad systemem lub jego przeładowania, co stwarza poważne zagrożenie dla integralności i dostępności usług w organizacji.
Recommendation
Zaleca się ograniczenie dostępu do SNMP tylko do zaufanych źródeł oraz monitorowanie ruchu SNMP w celu wykrycia potencjalnych prób wykorzystania tej podatności.

Original NVD description (English source)
A vulnerability in the SNMP implementation of could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of the affected system or to remotely execute code. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted SNMP packet to the affected device. The vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow in the affected code area. The vulnerability affects all versions of SNMP (versions 1, 2c, and 3). The attacker must know the SNMP read only community string (SNMP version 2c or earlier) or the user credentials (SNMPv3). An exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code and obtain full control of the system or to cause a reload of the affected system. Only traffic directed to the affected system can be used to exploit this vulnerability.
