Oracle Linux: CVE-2022-24806: ELSA-2024-7260: net-snmp security update (MODERATE) (Multiple Advisories)

net-snmp provides various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol. Prior to version 5.9.2, a user with read-write credentials can exploit an Improper Input Validation vulnerability when SETing malformed OIDs in master agent and subagent simultaneously. Version 5.9.2 contains a patch. Users should use strong SNMPv3 credentials and avoid sharing the credentials. Those who must use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c should use a complex community string and enhance the protection by restricting access to a given IP address range.
A flaw was found in net-snmp. This issue occurs due to improper input validation when simultaneously setting malformed OIDs in the master agent and subagent.
