SNMP: Community NULL Character
This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects an SNMP message with a NULL character in the community string. This can cause some SNMP servers to behave incorrectly.
Extended Description
This type of protocol anomaly may be the result of device or network configuration errors, or poor implementation. It could also indicate that an attacker is attempting to exploit an SNMP software vulnerability.
