Thanks for taking the time to report this bug, and apologies for the delay. For some reason we didn't notice it during our daily triages.

Either way, I would like to ask for more information about the problem. The commit and upstream bug that you linked are pretty old and have been part of Ubuntu's net-snmp for several years now. It seems that there's a more recent upstream commit (https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/commit/78bf0069ddd24ea0cc716421c53e1daf46da7002), but I'd like your help to determine whether it fixes the crash. This specific commit is part of the net-snmp package we ship in Lunar/Mantic, so you shouldn't see the crash manifesting in those systems.

Could you please give it a try and report back on the results? Thank you.
