CVE-2026-86287 Details
Description
Net::IP::LPM versions before 1.12 for Perl accept malformed prefix lengths. Non-numeric and non-ASCII prefix lengths are accepted and treated as 0. Integers over 31 bits are silently truncated. A single malformed mask will poison the lookup table. The result is that the lookup will silently succeed for every address. An allow-list will allow every address, and a deny-list will block every address.
A vulnerability exists in Net::IP::LPM versions prior to 1.12 for Perl, where the module accepts malformed prefix lengths. Non-numeric and non-ASCII prefix lengths are interpreted as 0, while integers exceeding 31 bits are silently truncated. This flaw can corrupt the lookup table, causing the lookup to incorrectly succeed for every address. Consequently, an allow-list would permit all addresses, and a deny-list would block all addresses.
Users are advised to upgrade to Net::IP::LPM version 1.12 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
