cisco-sa-20190828-nxos-snmp-bypass: Cisco NX-OS Software SNMP Access Control List Configuration Name Bypass Vulnerability

First published: Wed Aug 28 2019(Updated: )

A vulnerability in the implementation of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Access Control List (ACL) feature of Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform SNMP polling of an affected device, even if it is configured to deny SNMP traffic. The vulnerability is due to an incorrect length check when the configured ACL name is the maximum length, which is 32 ASCII characters. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by performing SNMP polling of an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to perform SNMP polling that should have been denied. The attacker has no control of the configuration of the SNMP ACL name. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.
