CVE-2020-6059Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Memory disclosure and crash via request-length wraparound

Published Feb 4, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Out-of-bounds read in Mini-SNMPD 1.4 allows remote attackers to disclose process memory or crash the daemon via a crafted SNMP request. The decode_int request-ID parser subtracts an attacker-controlled BER integer length from the packet size, allowing size_t wraparound to bypass its bounds check. An unauthenticated network request is sufficient; repeated requests disclose memory four bytes at a time, while malformed parsing can terminate the service.
