Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Magnus Klaaborg Stubman discovered a NULL pointer dereference bug in net-snmp, a suite of Simple Network Management Protocol applications, allowing a remote, authenticated attacker to crash the snmpd process (causing a denial of service).

Solution

Upgrade the net-snmp packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 5.7.3+dfsg-1.7+deb9u1.
