CVE-2008-2292 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflow in the __snprint_value function in snmp_get in Net-SNMP 5.1.4, 5.2.4, and 5.4.1, as used in SNMP.xs for Perl, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large OCTETSTRING in an attribute value pair (AVP).. EPSS estimates a 8.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
