1 low-priority security issue in bookworm low

There is 1 open security issue in bookworm.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2024-25629: (needs triaging) c-ares is a C library for asynchronous DNS requests. `ares__read_line()` is used to parse local configuration files such as `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, the `HOSTALIASES` file, and if using a c-ares version prior to 1.27.0, the `/etc/hosts` file. If any of these configuration files has an embedded `NULL` character as the first character in a new line, it can lead to attempting to read memory prior to the start of the given buffer which may result in a crash. This issue is fixed in c-ares 1.27.0. No known workarounds exist.

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