Vulnerabilities recently patched in Mini-SNMPD could be abused for denial-of-service attacks or to obtain sensitive information, Cisco Talos' security researchers report.
It works on both x86 and ARM platforms running Ubuntu, Alpine Linux, and FreeBSD. Talos' researchers discovered a total of three vulnerabilities in Mini-SNMPD, including two out-of-bounds read bugs and one stack overflow.
Tracked as CVE-2020-6058 and CVE-2020-6059, the first two issues are exploitable out-of-bounds read vulnerabilities, both related to the manner in which Mini-SNMPD parses incoming SNMP packets.
The third security bug, which is tracked as CVE-2020-6060, exists in the way Mini-SNMPD handles multiple connections, Talos explains.
All three vulnerabilities were found to impact version 1.4 of Mini-SNMPD and were reported to the developer on January 21.
