NVD Description

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

Net-SNMP 5.7.1 and earlier, when AgentX is registering to handle a MIB and processing GETNEXT requests, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash or infinite loop, CPU consumption, and hang) by causing the AgentX subagent to timeout.
