CVE-2014-2285 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable net-snmp to version 5.7.2.1~dfsg-3 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.
The perl_trapd_handler function in perl/TrapReceiver/TrapReceiver.xs in Net-SNMP 5.7.3.pre3 and earlier, when using certain Perl versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via an empty community string in an SNMP trap, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference within the newSVpv function in Perl.
