Summary

In FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE before r350637, 12.0-RELEASE before 12.0-RELEASE-p9, 11.3-STABLE before r350638, 11.3-RELEASE before 11.3-RELEASE-p2, and 11.2-RELEASE before 11.2-RELEASE-p13, the bsnmp library is not properly validating the submitted length from a type-length-value encoding. A remote user could cause an out-of-bounds read or trigger a crash of the software such as bsnmpd resulting in a denial of service.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
