Lack of data validation In libnet-cidr-lite-perl

Description

Net::CIDR::Lite versions before 0.24 for Perl does not properly consider extraneous zero characters in CIDR mask values, which may allow IP ACL bypass. Mask forms like "/00" and "/01" pass validation and parse to the same prefix as their unpadded value. See also CVE-2026-45190.
