How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable net-snmp to version 5.7.2.1~dfsg-7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream net-snmp package and not the net-snmp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

snmplib/mib.c in net-snmp 5.7.0 and earlier, when the -OQ option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via a crafted SNMP trap message, which triggers a conversion to the variable type designated in the MIB file, as demonstrated by a NULL type in an ifMtu trap message.
