Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing a security update.

- 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)
