1 low-priority security issue in trixie low

There is 1 open security issue in trixie.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:
  • CVE-2026-6390: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in GNU nano's multi-buffer error message handling. When a user opens multiple files at startup and one triggers an ALERT-level error, a specially crafted filename containing printf format specifiers can be reinterpreted. This format string vulnerability may allow an attacker to achieve stack information disclosure, cause a denial of service (crash), or potentially perform arbitrary memory writes.

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

    • ∙ ∙ Lintian check waiting for test results on riscv64 - info
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 2 of 5 days old
    • Additional info (not blocking):
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/n/nano.html
    • ∙ ∙ Reproduced on amd64 - info
