## CVEs this fix closes

| CVE | Priority | Title | CVSS | EPSS | Exploitation |
|---|---|---|---:|---:|---|
| [CVE-2025-48964](https://patchblox.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2025-48964.md) | Routine | 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). | 6.5 | 0.0040 |  |
