There are 2 open security issues in bookworm.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2025-9648:
(needs triaging)
A vulnerability in the CivetWeb library's function mg_handle_form_request allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (DoS) condition. By sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request containing a null byte in the payload, the server enters an infinite loop during form data parsing. Multiple malicious requests will result in complete CPU exhaustion and render the service unresponsive to further requests. This issue was fixed in commit 782e189. This issue affects only the library, standalone executable pre-built by vendor is not affected.
- CVE-2025-55763:
(needs triaging)
Buffer Overflow in the URI parser of CivetWeb 1.14 through 1.16 (latest) allows a remote attacker to achieve remote code execution via a crafted HTTP request. This vulnerability is triggered during request processing and may allow an attacker to corrupt heap memory, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
