Amazon Linux 1 Security Advisory: ALAS-2014-316
Advisory Release Date: 2014-03-24 23:39 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2014-09-18 00:06 Pacific
Severity: Medium
Issue Overview:

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the decode_icmp_msg() function in the ICMP-MIB implementation processed Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) message statistics reported in the /proc/net/snmp file. A remote attacker could send a message for each ICMP message type, which could potentially cause the snmpd service to crash when processing the /proc/net/snmp file. (CVE-2014-2284)
