Net::CIDR::Lite versions before 0.24 for Perl does not properly validate IP address and CIDR mask inputs, which may allow IP ACL bypass.
Inputs containing a trailing newline or non-ASCII digit characters pass the validators but are then re-encoded by the parser to a different address than the input string spelled. find() and bin_find() can match or miss addresses as a result.
Example:
my $cidr = Net::CIDR::Lite->new(); $cidr->add("::1\n/128"); $cidr->find("::1a");
incorrectly returns true

AnalysisAI
Net::CIDR::Lite Perl module versions before 0.24 fail to properly validate IP address and CIDR mask inputs, allowing attackers to bypass IP-based access control lists by supplying malformed addresses that are re-encoded differently by the parser. Inputs with trailing newlines or non-ASCII digit characters pass validation but resolve to unintended IP addresses, causing find() and bin_find() functions to incorrectly match or miss addresses. …
