Format string vulnerability in the snmppd_log function in snmppd_util.c for snmppd 0.4.5 and earlier may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via format string specifiers that are not properly handled in a syslog call.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-1246 affects legacy snmppd versions 0.4.5 and earlier. A logging bug could let a remote attacker crash the service or potentially run code if malicious format string input reaches syslog handling. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running snmppd 0.4.5 or earlier, especially if the service is reachable from untrusted networks. Prioritize this if legacy SNMP-related infrastructure remains in production or exposed. Otherwise, treat it as a targeted legacy cleanup item with inventory verification. Mitigation focus: Identify any snmppd deployments and confirm installed versions.; Remove or replace snmppd 0.4.5 and earlier where possible.; Restrict network access to trusted management hosts only..
