CVE-2010-2891

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libsmi versions prior to 0.4.8

Description The issue affects the libsmi package, potentially leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. It can be exploited remotely. The problem is caused by a buffer overflow in the smiGetNode function, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted Object Identifier.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.4.8, update to version 0.4.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the smiGetNode function until a patch is available.
