4 security issues in sid high

There are 4 open security issues in sid.

4 important issues:

CVE-2025-57106: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) up to 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in vtkGLTFDocumentLoader. The vulnerability occurs in the BufferDataExtractionWorker template function when processing GLTF accessor data.
CVE-2025-57107: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) through 9.5.0 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in vtkGLTFDocumentLoader. When processing specially crafted GLTF files, the copy constructor of Accessor objects fails to properly validate buffer boundaries before performing memory read operations.
CVE-2025-57108: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) through 9.5.0 contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability in vtkGLTFDocumentLoader. The vulnerability manifests during mesh object copy operations where vector members are accessed after the underlying memory has been freed, specifically when handling GLTF files with corrupted or invalid mesh reference structures.
CVE-2025-57109: Kitware VTK (Visualization Toolkit) 9.5.0 is vulnerable to Heap Use-After-Free in vtkGLTFImporter::ImportActors. When processing GLTF files with invalid scene node references, the application accesses string members of mesh objects that have been previously freed during actor import operations.

commit d2ec8ef61f48bdd6bf026f1f35bb8905901aaee7
Merge: d65a927 d01b884
Author: Anton Gladky <gladk@debian.org>
Date:   Wed Aug 19 16:43:31 2026 +0200

    Merge branch 'vtkteem' into 'master'
    
    Enable VTK wrapping option
    
    See merge request science-team/vtk9!13

commit d01b8848c347e2af3315f04546b7da14c37d63b4

    So that this package can be effectively used for external projects such
    as vtkTeem or 3Dslicer
    
    Otherwise, with superbuild=OFF, one gets:
    ninja: error: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vtk-9.5/hierarchy/VTK/vtkRenderingQt-hierarchy.txt', needed by 'Libs/vtkTeem/vtkTeemHierarchy.stamp.txt', missing and no known rule to make it
