USN-4471-1 fixed a vulnerability in Net-SNMP. The updated introduced a regression making nsExtendCacheTime not settable. This update fixes the problem adding the cacheTime feature flag.
Tobias Neitzel discovered that Net-SNMP incorrectly handled certain symlinks. An attacker could possibly use this issue to access sensitive information. (CVE-2020-15861) It was discovered that Net-SNMP incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-15862).
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.
