Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-6123 to
the following vulnerability:

The netsnmp_udp_fmtaddr function (snmplib/snmpUDPDomain.c) in net-snmp
5.0.9 through 5.4.2, when using TCP wrappers for client authorization,
does not properly parse hosts.allow rules, which allows remote
attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and execute SNMP
queries, related to "source/destination IP address confusion."
