Oracle Linux: CVE-2022-24809: ELSA-2024-7260: net-snmp security update (MODERATE)

net-snmp provides various tools relating to the Simple Network Management Protocol. Prior to version 5.9.2, a user with read-only credentials can use a malformed OID in a `GET-NEXT` to the `nsVacmAccessTable` to cause a NULL pointer dereference. Version 5.9.2 contains a patch. Users should use strong SNMPv3 credentials and avoid sharing the credentials. Those who must use SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c should use a complex community string and enhance the protection by restricting access to a given IP address range.
A flaw was found in net-snmp. A malformed OID in a GET-NEXT to the nsVacmAccessTable can cause a NULL pointer dereference issue.
