Last modified
CVE-2015-5621 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The snmp_pdu_parse function in snmp_api.c in net-snmp 5.7.2 and earlier does not remove the varBind variable in a netsnmp_variable_list item when parsing of the SNMP PDU fails, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted packet.. EPSS estimates a 40.00% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
