Package : net-tools
Debian Bug : 1106147
The update for net-tools announced in DSA 5923-1 introduced a regression
for ifconfig always showing zero value packet counters. Updated packages
are now available to correct this issue. Two additional stack-based
buffer overflow flaws are addressed in this update.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.10-0.1+deb12u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your net-tools packages.
