2 security issues in bullseye high

There are 2 open security issues in bullseye.

1 important issue:

CVE-2025-14831: A flaw was found in GnuTLS. This vulnerability allows a denial of service (DoS) by excessive CPU (Central Processing Unit) and memory consumption via specially crafted malicious certificates containing a large number of name constraints and subject alternative names (SANs).

1 issue postponed or untriaged:

CVE-2025-9820: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) A flaw was found in the GnuTLS library, specifically in the gnutls_pkcs11_token_init() function that handles PKCS#11 token initialization. When a token label longer than expected is processed, the function writes past the end of a fixed-size stack buffer. This programming error can cause the application using GnuTLS to crash or, in certain conditions, be exploited for code execution. As a result, systems or applications relying on GnuTLS may be vulnerable to a denial of service or local privilege escalation attacks.

testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for gnutls28 (3.8.12-2 to 3.8.12-3): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ migrating libgnutls28-dev/3.8.12-3/amd64 to testing makes Build-Depends of src:macopix uninstallable
- ∙ ∙ migrating libgnutls28-dev/3.8.12-3/amd64 to testing makes Build-Depends of src:sipsak uninstallable
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/g/gnutls28.html
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for gnutls28/3.8.12-3: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on arm64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on armhf
- ∙ ∙ Reproducibility regression on i386: gnutls-bin, libgnutls-dane0t64, libgnutls28-dev, libgnutls30t64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on ppc64el
