Subject: Re: CVE request for two net-snmp remote DoS flaws

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

> 1. net-snmp: denial of service flaw in Linux implementation of ICMP-MIB

> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1070396
> http://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/code/ci/a1fd64716f6794c55c34d77e618210238a73bfa1/

A first look at the patch suggests that it's about missing input
validation, and not also about independently exploitable off-by-one
errors in the sizes of data structures. In other words, although
something like:

  - struct icmp_msg_mib vals[255];
  + struct icmp_msg_mib vals[256];

would often be an independent security fix (255 is an unusual size),
here it's not a security fix relative to the original code. If other
analysis shows that that's incorrect, we'll add another CVE ID.

Use CVE-2014-2284 for the missing input validation.

Use CVE-2014-2285.
