CVE-2026-49942 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for Debian:12 libnet-cidr-set-perl.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libnet-cidr-set-perl package and not the libnet-cidr-set-perl package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
Net::CIDR::Set versions through 0.20 for Perl did not validate network masks.
The mask portion of a network mask could contain Unicode digits such as the Arabic-Indic One (U+0661), or non-digits, which were ignored. This could allow network masks to accept larger networks.
Leading zeros were also accepted, but treated as decimal instead of octal. This could lead to confusion about what networks are acceptable.
