A privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered in Net-SNMP, a set of tools for collecting and organising information about devices on computer networks, due to incorrect symlink handling (CVE-2020-15861).
This security update also applies an upstream fix to their previous handling of CVE-2020-15862 as part of DLA-2299-1.
For Debian 9 ‘Stretch’, these problems have been fixed in version 5.7.3+dfsg-1.7+deb9u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your net-snmp packages.
For the detailed security status of net-snmp please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/net-snmp
