    Debian Bug     : 946053 966148

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in luajit, a just in time compiler
    for the Lua programming language, which could lead to denial of service.

    CVE-2019-19391

        It was discovered that debug.getinfo() has a type confusion issue
        that leads to arbitrary memory write or read operations, because
        certain cases involving valid stack levels and `>` options are
        mishandled.

        NOTE: The LuaJIT project owner disputes the vulnerability and states
        that the debug library is unsafe by design.

    CVE-2020-15890

        Yongheng Chen discovered an out-of-bounds read because `__gc`
        handler frame traversal is mishandled.

    CVE-2020-24372

        Yongheng Chen discovered out-of-bounds read in lj_err_run().

    CVE-2024-25176

        Kutyavin Maxim discovered a stack-buffer-overflow in
        lj_strfmt_wfnum().

    CVE-2024-25177

        Kutyavin Maxim discovered an unsinking of IR_FSTORE for NULL
        metatable.

    CVE-2024-25178

        Kutyavin Maxim discovered an out-of-bounds read in the
        stack-overflow handler.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5.3+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your luajit packages.
