GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT

PACKAGE ═ ═ ═ ═:net-snmp
SUMMARY ═ ═ ═ ═:Denial of service
DATE ═ ═ ═ ═ ═ :2002-10-14 08:00 UTC
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------
The SNMP daemon included in the Net-SNMP package can be crashed
if it attempts to process a specially crafted packet. Exploitation
requires foreknowledge of a known SNMP community string (either
read or read/write). This issue potentially affects any Net-SNMP
installation in which the "public" read-only community string has not
been changed.

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.0.2a and earlier update their systems
as follows:
emerge rsync
emerge net-snmp
emerge clean
