Net-SNMP 5.0.x before 5.0.10.2, 5.2.x before 5.2.1.2, and 5.1.3, when net-snmp is using stream sockets such as TCP, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon hang and CPU consumption) via a TCP packet of length 1, which triggers an infinite loop.

A possibility of sensitive host information disclosure was found in the implementation of SNMP protocol as defined in RFC 1065, RFC 1066, and RFC 1067. If the snmpd deamon was running on the host, it served the SNMP queries regardless of the fact, the IP address of the requester was not mentioned in the list of hosts allowed to issue / request SNMP MIB objects information. Remote attacker could use this flaw to gain host related sensitive information via performing a SNMP query.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Net-SNMP 5.2.1.2 and earlier, on Gentoo Linux, installs certain Perl modules with an insecure DTRPATH, which could allow local users to gain privileges.
