Hash: SHA256
Package : net-snmp
Version : 5.7.3+dfsg-1.7+deb9u2
Debian Bug : #965166
A privilege escalation vulnerability vulnerability was discovered in
Net-SNMP, a set of tools for collecting and organising information
about devices on computer networks.
Upstream notes that:
* It is still possible to enable this MIB via the
--with-mib-modules configure option.
* Another MIB that provides similar functionality, namely
ucd-snmp/extensible, is disabled by default.
* The security risk of ucd-snmp/pass and ucd-snmp/pass_persist is
lower since these modules only introduce a security risk if the
invoked scripts are exploitable.
For Debian 9 "Stretch", this issue has been fixed in net-snmp version
5.7.3+dfsg-1.7+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp packages.
