Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Net-CIDR-Lite (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue arises from the perl Net-CIDR-Lite module's incorrect handling of IP addresses containing leading zeros in their octets. Specifically, it ignores these leading zeros, whereas the underlying system may interpret them as octal numbers, leading to different IP address interpretations. For instance, the IP address 010.0.0.1 is treated as 10.0.0.1 by Net-CIDR-Lite, but the system may interpret it as 8.0.0.1.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
