SNMPc SNMP TRAP buffer overflow
| snmpc-snmptrap-bo (42104) |  High Risk |
Description:
SNMPc is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the SNMPc Network Manager. By sending a specially-crafted UDP packet containing an overly long string, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the LocalSystem or cause the system to crash.
