Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in SNMP Trap Translator, the
worst of which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary shell code.
Background
==========
SNMP Trap Translator (SNMPTT) is an SNMP trap handler written in Perl.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected

Description
===========
It was found that SNMP Trap Translator does not drop privileges as
configured and does not properly escape shell commands in certain
functions.
Impact
======
A remote attacker, by sending a malicious crafted SNMP trap, could
possibly execute arbitrary shell code with the privileges of the
process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
