  - net-snmp provides various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol. Prior to version
    5.9.2, a malformed OID in a SET request to `SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmAccessTable` can cause an out-of-
    bounds memory access. A user with read-write credentials can exploit the issue. Version 5.9.2 contains a
    patch. Users should use strong SNMPv3 credentials and avoid sharing the credentials. Those who must use
    SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c should use a complex community string and enhance the protection by restricting access
    to a given IP address range. (CVE-2022-24807)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
