Net-SNMP netsnmp_create_subtree_cache() denial of service
| netsnmp-netsnmpcreatesubtreecache-dos (46262) |  Low Risk |
Description:
Net-SNMP is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an integer overflow in the netsnmp_create_subtree_cache() function. By sending a specially-crafted SNMP GETBULK request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
