CVE-2025-48964 (GCVE-0-2025-48964)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-07-22 00:00 – Updated: 2025-08-26 18:49

Summary

ping in iputils before 20250602 allows a denial of service (application error in adaptive ping mode or incorrect data collection) via a crafted ICMP Echo Reply packet, because a zero timestamp can lead to large intermediate values that have an integer overflow when squared during statistics calculations. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-47268 (that fix was only about timestamp calculations, and it did not account for a specific scenario where the original timestamp in the ICMP payload is zero).

Severity

6.5 (Medium)
