Comment 3 for bug 1912389

I found the upstream bug for this issue:

https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/issues/233

The fix landed in the upstream master and V5-9-patches branches [1], but the issue is still open lacking verification. The patch doesn't apply cleanly on version 5.8, the version currently in Focal, Groovy and Hirsute, so this is not a SRU "patch on a plate" scenario, at least not for the moment.

For Hirsute: I had a look at the past upstream release history and I think it's unlikely that we'll get 5.9.1 released in time. However we do have a patch ready for the version in Hirsute, so this should be an easy fix. Before proceeding I'd wait for the upstream issue to be closed as fixed, confirming that the patch works as expected. I poked the issue on GitHub.
