CVE-2021-29662 (2021-03-31)

The Data::Validate::IP module through 0.29 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.

Changes for version 0.12

  • Fixed parsing of trailing :: (such as 2001::), as that is valid This address bug#58991 - Thanks to Alan.Chester@tekelec.com for identifying the problem
  • Also fixed incorrectly treating 2001::1: as a valid IPv6 address when it isn't
