Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU7290
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 9.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-6736
CWE-ID:
CWE-120 - Buffer overflow
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subsystem due to buffer overflow when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can send specially crafted SNMP packet via IPv4 or IPv6, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in system compromise.
The vulnerability is addressed in the following versions:
16.7(0.63), 16.6(0.229), 15.7(3.1.4A)OT, 15.7(2.0m)M, 15.5(3)S5.22, 15.2(1.2.82)SY2, 15.1(2)SY10.99.
