NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream net-snmp-python package and not the net-snmp-python package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Linux implementation of the ICMP-MIB in Net-SNMP 5.5 before 5.5.2.1, 5.6.x before 5.6.2.1, and 5.7.x before 5.7.2.1 does not properly validate input, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors.
