It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-46836 exists.\n\nAffected product: ecki net-tools. 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-2025-46836/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46836/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-46836","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46836/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-46836","record":{"aliases":["AZL-61883","AZL-61888","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-46836","DLA-4202-1","DSA-5923-1","GHSA-pfwf-h6m3-63wf","MGASA-2025-0259","SUSE-SU-2025:02974-1","SUSE-SU-2025:03245-1","SUSE-SU-2025:03260-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20566-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20747-1","SUSE-SU-2025:20825-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20940-1","SUSE-SU-2026:20948-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-46836","USN-7537-1","openSUSE-SU-2025:15428-1","openSUSE-SU-2026:20437-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux network utilities","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow in net-tools via malformed /proc files, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or crashes.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"},{"id":"CWE-121","name":"Stack-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"net-tools is a collection of programs that form the base set of the NET-3 networking distribution for the Linux operating system. Inn versions up to and including 2.10, the Linux network utilities (like ifconfig) from the net-tools package do not properly validate the structure of /proc files when showing interfaces. `get_name()` in `interface.c` copies interface labels from `/proc/net/dev` into a fixed 16-byte stack buffer without bounds checking, leading to possible arbitrary code execution or crash.
