CVE-2022-24810: Debian Linux

High severity, CVSS 8.8. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

net-snmp provides various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol. Prior to version 5.9.2, a user with read-write credentials can use a malformed OID in a SET to the nsVacmAccessTable to cause a NULL pointer dereference. Version 5.9.2 contains a patch. Users should use strong SNMPv3 credentials and avoid sharing the credentials. Those who must use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c should use a complex community string and enhance the protection by restricting access to a given IP address range.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 10.0 only
• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 36 only
• Net-SNMP Net-SNMP: before 5.9.2 (fixed in 5.9.2)
