--

It was discovered that the snmp_pdu_parse() function could leave
incompletely parsed varBind variables in the list of variables. A remote,
unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to crash snmpd or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of
the user running snmpd. (CVE-2015-5621)
