net-snmp: restriction bypass

Package(s):net-snmp CVE #(s):CVE-2008-6123
Created:February 17, 2009 Updated:June 3, 2010
Description: From the CVE entry: The netsnmp_udp_fmtaddr function (snmplib/snmpUDPDomain.c) in net-snmp 5.0.9 through 5.4.2, when using TCP wrappers for client authorization, does not properly parse hosts.allow rules, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and execute SNMP queries, related to "source/destination IP address confusion."
