OVERVIEW:

      A vulnerability has been identified in Avaya Products Net-SNMP.  


IMPACT:

      This vulnerability can cause a denial of service as a result of the
      way that Net-SNMP processes SNMP GETBULK requests. It is possible
      to crash the server via a specially-crafted request. [1]


MITIGATION:

      As no update is currently available, the vendor recommends that
      "... customers restrict local and network access to the server." [1]
