2 low-priority security issues in trixie low

There are 2 open security issues in trixie.

2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2025-58436: (needs triaging) OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Prior to version 2.4.15, a client that connects to cupsd but sends slow messages, e.g. only one byte per second, delays cupsd as a whole, such that it becomes unusable by other clients. This issue has been patched in version 2.4.15.
CVE-2025-61915: (needs triaging) OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. Prior to version 2.4.15, a user in the lpadmin group can use the cups web ui to change the config and insert a malicious line. Then the cupsd process which runs as root will parse the new config and cause an out-of-bound write. This issue has been patched in version 2.4.15.

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