Net-SNMP 5.0.x before 5.0.10.2, 5.2.x before 5.2.1.2, and 5.1.3, when net-snmp is using stream sockets such as TCP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon hang and CPU consumption) via a TCP packet of length 1, which triggers an infinite loop.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-2177 is a denial-of-service flaw in older Net-SNMP releases. If Net-SNMP uses stream sockets such as TCP, a remote attacker could make the daemon hang and consume CPU. The business impact is service degradation or loss of SNMP-based monitoring, not data theft based on the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems still running affected Net-SNMP versions with TCP-based SNMP access reachable from untrusted networks. UDP-only deployments or patched vendor backports may not be affected, but the supplied bundle does not provide full product-by-product applicability. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. Prioritize internet-facing or business-critical monitoring infrastructure first, especially where SNMP over TCP is enabled. It is not marked as known exploited in the supplied data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Net-SNMP 5.0.x to 5.0.10.2 or later where applicable.; Upgrade Net-SNMP 5.2.x to 5.2.1.2 or later where applicable.; For Net-SNMP 5.1.3, follow vendor advisory guidance or supported package backports..
