Synopsis

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1753800763 advisory.

 - iptraf-ng 1.2.1 has a stack-based buffer overflow. In src/ifaces.c, the strcpy function consistently fails to control the size, and it is consequently possible to overflow memory on the stack. (CVE-2024-52949)
