Moderate: net-snmp security update

Published Sep 26, 2024 · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Ecosystem: AlmaLinux

Summary

The net-snmp packages provide various libraries and tools for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), including an SNMP library, an extensible agent, tools for requesting or setting information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl Management Information Base (MIB) browser.

Security Fix(es):

* net-snmp: A buffer overflow in the handling of the INDEX of NET-SNMP-VACM-MIB can cause an out-of-bounds memory access. (CVE-2022-24805)
* : net-snmp: Improper Input Validation when SETing malformed OIDs in master agent and subagent simultaneously (CVE-2022-24806)
* net-snmp: A malformed OID in a SET request to SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmAccessTable can cause an out-of-bounds memory access (CVE-2022-24807)
* net-snmp: A malformed OID in a GET-NEXT to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-24809)
* net-snmp: A malformed OID in a SET request to NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsLogTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2022-24808)
* net-snmp: A malformed OID in a SET to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference. (CVE-2022-24810)
