NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsmi-devel package and not the libsmi-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

libsmi through 0.5.0 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in smiValueAsString() in lib/smi.c that allows attackers to overflow a fixed 1024-byte static buffer through hex rendering of OCTET STRING values. Attackers can supply a crafted MIB with an OCTET STRING DEFVAL of 512 or more octets and a leading 0x00 byte to corrupt adjacent library globals and crash smidump or other consumers.
