    CVE ID         : CVE-2022-44792 CVE-2022-44793


    menglong2234 discovered NULL pointer exceptions in net-snmp, a suite of
    Simple Network Management Protocol applications, which could could
    result in denial of service.

    CVE-2022-44792

        A remote attacker (with write access) could trigger a NULL
        dereference while handling ipDefaultTTL via a crafted UDP packet.

    CVE-2022-44793

        A remote attacker (with write access) could trigger a NULL
        dereference while handling ipv6IpForwarding via a crafted UDP
        packet.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    5.9+dfsg-4+deb11u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp packages.
