Wes Hardaker reports through sourceforge.net forum :

SECURITY ISSUE: A bug in the getbulk handling code could let anyone with even minimal access crash the agent. If you have open access to your snmp agents (bad bad bad; stop doing that!) or if you don’t trust everyone that does have access to your agents you should updated immediately to prevent potential denial of service attacks.

Description at cve.mitre.org additionally clarifies :

Integer overflow in the netsnmp_create_subtree_cache function in agent/snmp_agent.c in net-snmp 5.4 before 5.4.2.1, 5.3 before 5.3.2.3, and 5.2 before 5.2.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted SNMP GETBULK request, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, related to the number of responses or repeats.
