CVE-2015-5621 is a vulnerability in net-snmp 5.7.2 and earlier in the snmp_pdu_parse function within snmp_api.c. When parsing an SNMP PDU fails, the implementation does not properly remove or clean up the varBind variable associated with a netsnmp_variable_list item. This incomplete state handling during error processing can leave stale parser state and trigger memory corruption conditions. A remote attacker can send a crafted SNMP packet that causes parsing failure and reaches the flawed cleanup path, resulting in a crash and potentially arbitrary code execution.
