1.9 · LOW
Published Dec 31, 2025 CWE-122 EPSS 0.11% (2th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-11961 is a low-severity vulnerability. It was published on December 31, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 1.9 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 1.9, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

pcap_ether_aton() is an auxiliary function in libpcap, it takes a string argument and returns a fixed-size allocated buffer. The string argument must be a well-formed MAC-48 address in one of the supported formats, but this requirement has been poorly documented. If an application calls the function with an argument that deviates from the expected format, the function can read data beyond the end of the provided string and write data beyond the end of the allocated buffer.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
