Hi,

   There is an issue with authentication password and
privacy password used with SNMP v3 in net-snmp. Please
give your 
suggestion.

When a user is added with:
net-snmp-config --create-snmpv3-user -a "12345678" -x
"12345678" -A MD5 user1


All the snmp queries with any number of repeated
patterns of the password are allowed for the
corresponding username. For the above configuration,
snmpwalk works with any of the following
 
snmpwalk -v 3 -u user1 -l authPriv -a MD5 -A 12345678
-X 12345678 -m all -M . 192.168.1.100 system
snmpwalk -v 3 -u user1 -l authPriv -a MD5 -A
1234567812345678 -X 1234567812345678 -m all -M .
192.168.1.100 system
snmpwalk -v 3 -u user1 -l authPriv -a MD5 -A
123456781234567812345678 -X 123456781234567812345678
-m all -M . 192.168.1.100 system
 
Isn't this a security issue?

Please give your comment.

Regards,
Saif
