It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-11961 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: The Tcpdump Group libpcap. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-11961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-11961/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-11961","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2025-11961","AZL-73335","AZL-73344","AZL-73373","AZL-73379","BELL-CVE-2025-11961","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-11961","ECHO-5e37-6bb1-4b05","GHSA-x25x-vjrm-h7qq","MGASA-2026-0005","OESA-2026-1109","OESA-2026-1110","OESA-2026-1111","OESA-2026-1112","OESA-2026-1113","OESA-2026-1114","OESA-2026-1207","SUSE-SU-2026:0036-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0053-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0062-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0063-1","SUSE-SU-2026:0575-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20048-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20120-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20153-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-11961","openSUSE-SU-2026:10032-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20075-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libpcap network library","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Out-of-bounds read and write in libpcap's pcap_ether_aton function can lead to memory corruption and potential code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Tcpdump","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":1.9,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-126","name":"Buffer Over-read"},{"id":"CWE-122","name":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"pcap_ether_aton() is an auxiliary function in libpcap, it takes a string argument and returns a fixed-size allocated buffer.
