6 low-priority security issues in trixie low

There are 6 open security issues in trixie.

6 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2026-71219: (needs triaging) A stack overflow vulnerability was found in gfs2-utils. The hash table traversal code in metawalk.c uses alloca() with an exponentially-derived size from the untrusted on-disk di_depth field without bounds validation. A crafted GFS2 filesystem image with a large di_depth value causes stack exhaustion and a denial of service when processed by fsck.gfs2, gfs2_edit, or savemeta.
  • CVE-2026-71220: (needs triaging) A stack out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in gfs2-utils. In gfs2_edit, the di_height field from on-disk inode metadata is used as an array index without bounds checking, causing a stack buffer overflow that may lead to arbitrary code execution when processing crafted GFS2 filesystem images.
  • CVE-2026-71221: (needs triaging) A stack out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in gfs2-utils. In savemeta, the height value from on-disk inode metadata is used as a loop bound without bounds checking, causing a stack buffer overflow that may lead to arbitrary code execution when processing crafted GFS2 filesystem images.
  • CVE-2026-71222: (needs triaging) A heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in gfs2-utils. The ea_num_ptrs field from on-disk extended attribute metadata is consumed without bounds validation, causing a heap buffer over-read that may disclose sensitive memory contents or cause a crash when processing crafted GFS2 filesystem images.
  • CVE-2026-71223: (needs triaging)
  • CVE-2026-71224: (needs triaging) A stack overflow vulnerability was found in gfs2-utils. The metadata walk code in metawalk.c uses alloca() with an untrusted inode height value from on-disk metadata without bounds validation, causing stack exhaustion and a denial of service when processing crafted GFS2 filesystem images.

You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
