There is 1 open security issue in trixie.

1 issue left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2025-9136: (needs triaging) A flaw has been found in libretro RetroArch 1.18.0/1.19.0/1.20.0. This affects the function filestream_vscanf of the file libretro-common/streams/file_stream.c. This manipulation causes out-of-bounds read. The attack needs to be launched locally. Upgrading to version 1.21.0 mitigates this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.

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