    Version        : 0~20200923.3-2+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-0838
    Debian Bug     : 1098903

    A vulnerability has been found in abseil, a collection of open-source C++
    libraries that extend the C++ standard library, which might cause an heap
    buffer overflow.

    CVE-2025-0838

        There exists a heap buffer overflow vulnerable in Abseil-cpp. The sized
        constructors, reserve(), and rehash() methods of
        absl::{flat,node}hash{set,map} did not impose an upper bound on their
        size argument. As a result, it was possible for a caller to pass a very
        large size that would cause an integer overflow when computing the size
        of the container's backing store, and a subsequent out-of-bounds memory
        write. Subsequent accesses to the container might also access
        out-of-bounds memory.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    0~20200923.3-2+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your abseil packages.
