The vulnerability is due to an attempt to double free a region of memory when processing a series of SNMP read requests that contains certain criteria for a specific object ID (OID). An attacker who can authenticate to an affected device may submit a series of valid but specially formed SNMP requests designed to trigger the vulnerability. Successful exploitation will cause the device to restart because of an attempt to access an invalid memory region.
