Title
Net::CIDR::Set versions through 0.20 for Perl accept non-ASCII IP addresses and netmasks
Summary
Net::CIDR::Set versions through 0.20 for Perl accept non-ASCII IP addresses and netmasks.
Unicode digits such as the Arabic-Indic One (U+0661) were accepted but not properly parsed as numbers. This could allow network masks to accept larger networks.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
