CVE-2026-45190  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:14 libnet-cidr-lite-perl to version 0.24-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libnet-cidr-lite-perl package and not the libnet-cidr-lite-perl package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

Net::CIDR::Lite versions before 0.24 for Perl does not properly validate IP address and CIDR mask inputs, which may allow IP ACL bypass.

Inputs containing a trailing newline or non-ASCII digit characters pass the validators but are then re-encoded by the parser to a different address than the input string spelled. find() and bin_find() can match or miss addresses as a result.

Example:

my $cidr = Net::CIDR::Lite->new(); $cidr->add("::1\n/128"); $cidr->find("::1a"); # incorrectly returns true
