Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'net-snmp' package(s) announced via the DLA-2299-1 advisory.
Insight
Insight
A privilege escalation vulnerability vulnerability was discovered in Net-SNMP, a set of tools for collecting and organising information about devices on computer networks. Upstream notes that: * It is still possible to enable this MIB via the --with-mib-modules configure option. * Another MIB that provides similar functionality, namely ucd-snmp/extensible, is disabled by default. * The security risk of ucd-snmp/pass and ucd-snmp/pass_persist is lower since these modules only introduce a security risk if the invoked scripts are exploitable.
Affected Software

Solution
Solution
For Debian 9 'Stretch', this issue has been fixed in net-snmp version 5.7.3+dfsg-1.7+deb9u2. We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp packages.
