The Net-SNMP package is a collection of tools for creating and gathering Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) information.
Net-SNMP was found to contain a vulnerability in how it verified an SNMPv3 packet's Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC). This could potentially allow a remote attacker to spoof an authenticated SNMPv3 message. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2008-0960 to this issue.
Net-SNMP's Perl bindings were found to contain a buffer overflow flaw. An attacker could potentially make use of this issue to get an application using the Perl bindings to an arbitrary SNMP agent. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2008-2292 to this issue.

Recommended Actions:
For all vulnerable system products,
Avaya recommends that customers restrict local
and network access to the server. This restriction should be
enforced through the use of physical security, firewalls, ACLs,
VPNs, and other generally-accepted networking practices until such
time as an update becomes available and can be installed.
Avaya software-only products operate on general-purpose operating systems. Occasionally vulnerabilities may be discovered in the underlying operating system or applications that come with the operating system. These vulnerabilities often do not impact the software-only product directly but may threaten the integrity of the underlying platform.
In the case of this advisory Avaya software-only products are not affected by the vulnerability directly but the underlying Linux platform may be. Customers should determine on which Linux operating system the product was installed and then follow that vendor's guidance.
