A remote Denial of Service has been discovered in the SMNP (Simple Network Management Protocol) library. If a SNMP agent uses TCP sockets for communication, a malicious SNMP server could exploit this to crash the agent. Please note that by default SNMP uses UDP sockets.
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
