USN-3792-1 fixed a vulnerability in Net-SNMP. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 18.10.

It was discovered that Net-SNMP incorrectly handled certain certain crafted packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Net-SNMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

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.
