* : net-snmp: Improper Input Validation when SETing malformed OIDs in master agent and subagent simultaneously (CVE-2022-24806)

* net-snmp: A malformed OID in a SET request to SNMP-VIEW-BASED-ACM-MIB::vacmAccessTable can cause an out- of-bounds memory access (CVE-2022-24807)

* net-snmp: A malformed OID in a GET-NEXT to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference.
(CVE-2022-24809)

* net-snmp: A malformed OID in a SET request to NET-SNMP-AGENT-MIB::nsLogTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference (CVE-2022-24808)
