An exploitable out of bounds read vulnerability exists in the way MiniSNMPD version 1.4 parses incoming SNMP packets. A specially crafted SNMP request can trigger an out of bounds memory read which can result in sensitive information disclosure and Denial Of Service. In order to trigger this vulnerability, an attacker needs to send a specially crafted packet to the vulnerable server.
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
