Package        : net-tools
CVE ID         : CVE-2025-46836
Debian Bug     : 1105806

Mohamed Maatallah discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the
get_name() function in net-tools, a collection of programs for
controlling the network subsystem of the Linux kernel, which may result
in denial of service (application crash) or potentially the execution of
arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.10-0.1+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your net-tools packages.

For the detailed security status of net-tools please refer to its
security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/net-tools
