Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2017-6742 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the SNMP implementation of Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XE Software. The flaw can be triggered by sending a crafted SNMP packet to an affected device over IPv4 or IPv6. It affects SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. Exploitation requires valid SNMP access: for SNMP v1/v2c, the attacker must know a read-only community string; for SNMPv3, the attacker must possess valid user credentials. Successful exploitation can cause the device to reload or allow arbitrary code execution on the device, resulting in full compromise of the affected system.
