Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the SNMP backend when processing specially crafted SNMP responses. An attacker can access up to 176 bytes of sensitive memory by sending malicious SNMP responses and subsequently viewing the leaked data through the web interface or IPP responses. This is only exploitable if the attacker is network-adjacent and the user is authenticated to access the leaked information.
