when processing network traffic. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue
only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-48689)

It was discovered that FastNetMon incorrectly handled encoding the BGP
AS_PATH attribute. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-48691)

It was discovered that FastNetMon incorrectly validated IP address input in
the Juniper router integration plugin. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to inject arbitrary router configuration commands. (CVE-2026-48694)
