Libsmi · Libsmi · CVE-2010-2891
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libsmi versions prior to 0.4.8
**Description**
The issue affects the libsmi package, potentially leading to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. It can be exploited remotely. The problem is caused by a buffer overflow in the smiGetNode function, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted Object Identifier.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 0.4.8, update to version 0.4.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the smiGetNode function until a patch is available.
