CVE-2006-5382

TITLE

3Com Switch SS3 4400 Vulnerable to taking unauthorized actions

DESCRIPTION

3Com Switch SS3 4400 switches, firmware 5.11, 6.00 and 6.10 and earlier, allow remote attackers to read the SNMP Read-Write Community string and conduct unauthorized actions via unspecified "normally restricted management packets on the device" that cause the community string to be returned. 3Com SS3 4400 Switch products are prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to retrieve potentially sensitive information. The impact of successful exploits may allow various operations on the device, including disabling ports and reconfiguring a VLAN. Note that this issue may be exploited only through the management VLAN that the affected device is connected to. Firmware versions 5.11, 6.00, and 6.10 or earlier are vulnerable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To improve our services to our customers, we have made a number of additions to the Secunia Advisories and have started translating the advisories to German.
