Description A memory leak in the SNMP module allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service via crafted SNMP packets. The issue is due to insufficient checking of data input, which can be exploited by sending crafted SNMP packets to the device, leading to a memory leak in the SNMP process. The process will restart after consuming its allocated memory. To exploit this, an attacker must authenticate to the targeted device.
