vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2025-359-01 advisory.
New net-snmp packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix a security issue.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the net-snmp security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
