Summary
A vulnerability in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) subsystem

to be manually reloaded to recover.
The vulnerability is due to lack of proper input throttling of ingress SNMP
traffic over an internal interface. An attacker could exploit this
vulnerability by sending a crafted, heavy stream of SNMP traffic to the
targeted device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause the device to
reload unexpectedly, causing a DoS condition.
