8.7 HIGH 0.5% exploit odds No fix listed Denial of service Library

What it is

Net-SNMP through 5.9.5.2 contains a denial of service vulnerability in the SMUX module where smux_accept() performs an unauthenticated blocking read without timeout on newly accepted connections. An unauthenticated remote client can connect to the SMUX listener and send no data, causing the single-threaded snmpd main loop to block indefinitely and suspend all SNMP processing.

Exploitability: Can be exploited over the network without logging in. High risk of service disruption.
Exploit odds: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days (EPSS).
Fix: No patch or advisory is linked yet. Look at mitigations or restrict exposure.
