Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a heap corruption vulnerability in the net-snmp framework which exchanges server management information in a network.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in net-snmp version 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp packages.
