Mageia 2021-0375: perl-Net-Netmask security update
Summary
The Net::Netmask module before 2.0000 for Perl does not properly consider
extraneous zero characters at the beginning of an IP address string, which
(in some situations) allows attackers to bypass access control that is based
on IP addresses (CVE-2021-29424).
