Net Snmp · Net-Snmp · CVE-2012-2141
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Net-SNMP version 5.7.1
**Description**
The issue is related to an array index error in the handle nsExtendOutput2Table function. This error can be triggered by remote authenticated users through an SNMP GET request for a non-existent entry in the extension table, leading to a denial of service due to an out-of-bounds read and subsequent snmpd crash.
**Recommendations**
For Net-SNMP version 5.7.1, consider restricting access to the `handle nsExtendOutput2Table` function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the SNMP GET request for entries not in the extension table to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
