3 security issues in trixie high

There are 3 open security issues in trixie.

3 important issues:

CVE-2020-37038: Code Blocks 20.03 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows attackers to crash the application by manipulating input in the FSymbols search field. Attackers can paste a large payload of 5000 repeated characters into the search field to trigger an application crash.
CVE-2020-37040: Code Blocks 17.12 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by crafting a malicious file name with Unicode characters. Attackers can trigger the vulnerability by pasting a specially crafted payload into the file name field during project creation, potentially executing system commands like calc.exe.
CVE-2020-37121: CODE::BLOCKS 16.01 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting Structured Exception Handler with crafted Unicode characters. Attackers can create a malicious M3U playlist file with 536 bytes of buffer and shellcode to trigger remote code execution.

testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for codeblocks (25.03+dfsg-2 to 25.03+dfsg-3): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 4 of 5 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Updating codeblocks will fix bugs in testing: #1127179
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/c/codeblocks.html
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on amd64
- ∙ ∙ Not reproduced on arm64 (not a regression): codeblocks, codeblocks-contrib
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on armhf
- ∙ ∙ Reproduced on i386
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility check waiting for results on ppc64el
- ∙ ∙ Remove hint for (transitive) dependency: llvm-toolchain-18
- Not considered
