Tracker summary

CVE-2014-2285 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (net-snmp), 5 status rows across 5 suites (lucid, precise, quantal, saucy, upstream): released 4, needed 1.

Description:

The perl_trapd_handler function in perl/TrapReceiver/TrapReceiver.xs in Net-SNMP 5.7.3.pre3 and earlier, when using certain Perl versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via an empty community string in an SNMP trap, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference within the newSVpv function in Perl.
