Synopsis:	Moderate: net-snmp security update
Issue date:	2007-11-15
CVE Names:	CVE-2007-5846

A flaw was discovered in the way net-snmp handled certain requests. A
remote attacker who can connect to the snmpd UDP port (161 by default)
could send a malicious packet causing snmpd to crash, resulting in a
denial of service. (CVE-2007-5846)
