Package        : snmptt
Version        : 1.4-1+deb9u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2020-24361

It was found that SNMP Trap Translator does not drop privileges as
configured and does not properly escape shell commands in certain
functions. A remote attacker, by sending a malicious crafted SNMP trap,
could possibly execute arbitrary shell code with the privileges of the
process or cause a Denial of Service condition.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
1.4-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your snmptt packages.
