How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream iputils-ninfod package and not the iputils-ninfod package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

ping in iputils before 20250602 allows a denial of service (application error in adaptive ping mode or incorrect data collection) via a crafted ICMP Echo Reply packet, because a zero timestamp can lead to large intermediate values that have an integer overflow when squared during statistics calculations. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-47268 (that fix was only about timestamp calculations, and it did not account for a specific scenario where the original timestamp in the ICMP payload is zero).
