CVE-2026-20185

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subsystem of Cisco 350 Series Managed Switches (SG350) and Cisco 350X Series Stackable Managed Switches (SG350X) firmware could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on an affected device.  This vulnerability is due to improper error handling when parsing response data for a specific SNMP request. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specific SNMP request to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a DoS condition. This vulnerability affects SNMP versions 1, 2c, and 3. To exploit this vulnerability through SNMPv2c or earlier, the attacker must know a valid read-write or read-only SNMP community string for the affected system. To exploit this vulnerability through SNMPv3, the attacker must have valid SNMP user credentials for the affected system.

Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad enviando una solicitud SNMP específica a un dispositivo afectado. Un exploit exitoso podría permitir al atacante hacer que el dispositivo se recargue inesperadamente, lo que resultaría en una condición de DoS.\nEsta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones 1, 2c y 3 de SNMP. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad a través de SNMPv2c o anterior, el atacante debe conocer una cadena de comunidad SNMP válida de lectura-escritura o solo lectura para el sistema afectado. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad a través de SNMPv3, el atacante debe tener credenciales de usuario SNMP válidas para el sistema afectado."
