SNMP requests are messages sent from manager to agent systems. They typically poll the agent for current performance or configuration information, ask for the next SNMP object in a Management Information Base (MIB), or modify the configuration settings of the agent. Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in a number of SNMP implementations. The vulnerabilities are known to exist in the process of decoding and interpreting SNMP request messages. Among the possible consequences are denial of service and allowing attackers to compromise target systems. These depend on the individual vulnerabilities in each affected product.
