GHSA-vjgw-84x2-wchq PUBLISHED CVSS 8.699999809265137 HIGH

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 17, 2022

The perl_trapd_handler function in perl/TrapReceiver/TrapReceiver.xs in Net-SNMP 5.7.3.pre3 and earlier, when using certain Perl versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via an empty community string in an SNMP trap, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference within the newSVpv function in Perl.
