CVE-2019-9162

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 4.20.12

Description The issue is related to insufficient ASN.1 length checks in the SNMP NAT module of the Linux kernel, which can lead to out-of-bounds read and write operations. This can result in an OOPS or local privilege escalation. The snmp version and snmp helper are affected by this issue.

Recommendations For Linux kernel versions prior to 4.20.12, update to version 4.20.12 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the SNMP NAT module until a patch is available.
