Detail

A security vulnerability has been found in Net-SNMP releases that could allow a denial of service attack against Net-SNMP agent's that have opened a stream based protocol (eg TCP but not UDP). By default, Net-SNMP does not open a TCP port.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a net-snmp package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 5.1.2-6.2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 5.2.1.2-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp package.

Title: Net-SNMP 5.0.x before 5.0.10.2, 5.2.x before 5.2.1.2, and 5.1.3, when net-snmp is using stream sockets such as TCP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon hang and CPU consumption) via a TCP packet of length 1, which triggers an infinite loop.
