net-snmp: incorrect application of hosts access restrictions in hosts.{allow,deny}

Published Feb 12, 2009 CVSS 2.0 · 5.0 Medium EPSS 2.9% KEV · Not listed
Description
The netsnmp_udp_fmtaddr function (snmplib/snmpUDPDomain.c) in net-snmp 5.0.9 through 5.4.2.1, when using TCP wrappers for client authorization, does not properly parse hosts.allow rules, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and execute SNMP queries, related to "source/destination IP address confusion."
