NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream net-snmp-agent-libs package and not the net-snmp-agent-libs package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Net-SNMP through 5.8 has Improper Privilege Management because SNMP WRITE access to the EXTEND MIB provides the ability to run arbitrary commands as root.
