Debian dla-3770 : libnet-cidr-lite-perl - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 192977

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 10 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3770 advisory.

- The Net::CIDR::Lite module before 0.22 for Perl does not properly consider extraneous zero characters at the beginning of an IP address string, which (in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based on IP addresses. (CVE-2021-47154)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the libnet-cidr-lite-perl packages.
