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."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets a remote system bypass intended TCP wrapper access rules for Net-SNMP and run SNMP queries. The business risk is unauthorized visibility into host or network management data. Exposure is limited to deployments using vulnerable Net-SNMP versions with TCP wrappers for SNMP client authorization. Likely exposed systems are older Unix/Linux hosts or appliances running Net-SNMP 5.0.9 through 5.4.2.1 with SNMP reachable and TCP wrappers used for client authorization. Treat as a targeted legacy exposure issue. Prioritize internet-reachable or broadly reachable SNMP services first, especially systems where SNMP reveals infrastructure, configuration, or host inventory data. Mitigation focus: Identify Net-SNMP deployments in the affected version range.; Apply relevant vendor updates from Red Hat, SUSE, Gentoo, or your distribution.; Do not rely solely on TCP wrappers for SNMP access control..
