It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The advisory points out:
When -OQ command line argument is used, variable formatter preffers the type of the varible parsed from a MIB file instead of checking type of the variable as parsed from SNMP message. This can lead to crashes when incoming packets contains a variable with NULL type, while the MIB says the variable should be non-NULL, like Integer. The formatter then tries to interpret the NULL (from packet) as Integer (from MIB file).
