    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-11527

    A flaw was discovered in libconfig-inifiles-perl, a Perl module to read
    .ini-style configuration files, which may result in the execution of
    arbitrary shell commands or file overwrite when processing specially
    crafted file names.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    3.000003-1+deb11u1.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
    3.000003-2+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libconfig-inifiles-perl packages.
