Summary

Security Advisory ID : BSA-2017-238

Component : SNMP

Revision : 1.0: Interim

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a commonly used network service. Its primary function is to provide network administrators with information about all kinds of network connected devices. SNMP can be used to get and change system settings on a wide variety of devices, from network servers, to routers and printers. The drawback to this service is the authentication is an unencrypted "community string". In addition many SNMP servers provide very simple default community strings. The community string "all private" is a default on a number of SNMP servers.
