Package        : net-snmp
Version        : 5.9+dfsg-4+deb11u3
CVE ID         : CVE-2025-68615
Debian Bug     : 1069087 1123861

net-snmp is a SNMP application library, tools and daemon.

A specially crafted packet to an net-snmp snmptrapd daemon can cause a
buffer overflow and the daemon to crash.

(SNMP ports should never be open to public networks. There is no
mitigation available other than ensuring ports to snmptrapd are
appropriately firewalled or by upgrading.)

Additionally a problem with parsing /proc/net/snmp on Linux >= 6.7 (which
contains an additional OutTransmits field) was fixed.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
5.9+dfsg-4+deb11u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp packages.
