Some interface aliases do not appear correctly

[Linegod]

Describe the bug

Network device interface description with equal sign (=) in ifAlias does not show Alias

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure a device interface with a description that contains =
   ie:
   interface TenGigE0/0/0/1
   description Job Id# = 55555 (Circuit #555555555555)
   service-policy ...
   ....
2. Scan the interfaces on the device
3. Alias will not populate
4. Remove Job Id# =
   ie:
   interface TenGigE0/0/0/1
   description 55555 (Circuit #555555555555)
   service-policy....
5. Rescan, and Alias appears as expected

Expected behavior

Alias should be populated with Job Id# = 55555 (Circuit #555555555555)

@Linegod, should be fixed now. Please test.

Applied changes - made no difference.

Same results.

@Linegod, are you using php-snmp? What version of PHP?

[TheWitness]

I tested on ifDescr and it seems to work perfectly. Are there other special characters in the output. I'm using:

• PHP 8.2.12
• NetSNMP 5.7.2
• php-snmp is also included

Testing without php-snmp now...

[TheWitness]

Same outcome with or without php-snmp @Linegod
