Description

 The Emanate SNMP agent supplied with HP OpenView and HP-UX contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The issue is triggered when someone who knows a read-only community string performs an SNMP walk query in the snmpV2.snmpModules branch, which will disclose all the community names configured on the host, resulting in a loss of confidentiality and possible unauthorized system access.

Solution

 HP has released a patch to partially address this vulnerability. Install Emanate Release 14.2 patches (NNM_00936, PHSS_27569, PHSS_27570, PSOV_03193 or later). A complete solution also requires adding a VIEW: qualifier to each line containing a get-community-name in snmpd.conf as given below:
get-community-name: <get-community-name> VIEW: 1.3.6.1 -communityMIB
Prior to the patch being applied, you should use -snmpModules instead of
-communityMIB.
