CVE-2019-9162

It was found that there are insufficient ASN.1 sequence length checks (a.k.a. an array index error) in the Linux kernel in the snmp_version() and snmp_helper() functions in the net/ipv4/netfilter/nf_nat_snmp_basic_main.c in the [nf_nat_snmp_basic] module making out-of-bounds read and write operations possible. An unprivileged local attacker can use this flaw to cause a kernel OOPS condition and thus a denial of service (DoS). Due to the nature of the flaw, successful exploitation from the network or privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.
