Dear All,

Is any outstanding vulnerability on the Standard version of NET-SNMP V5.7.3
(Not the pre-release version). It seems the v5.7.3 pre-release version is
still exposed to the following vulnerability.

CVE-2014-2285 <http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2014-2285/> - The
perl_trapd_handler function in perl/TrapReceiver/TrapReceiver.xs in
Net-SNMP 5.7.3.pre3 and earlier, when using certain Perl versions, allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (snmptrapd crash) via an
empty community string in an SNMP trap, which triggers a NULL pointer
dereference within the newSVpv function in Perl.


Would like to know if this vulnerability has been addressed on the Standard
version of Net-snmp v5.7.3 or is there any bug fix release note indicate
this ?

Thank you all for your great insight and advice in advance.

Regards
Patrick
