    Debian Bug     : 1133921 1136445

    It was found that jq, a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON parser, was
    vulnerable to multiple memory corruption attacks, which could lead to
    application crashes, denial-of-service conditions, and potentially arbitrary
    code execution through heap corruption when parsing untrusted input.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    1.6-2.1+deb12u2.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these issues have been addressed in DLA-4599-1 and
    DLA-4661-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your jq packages.

    For the detailed security status of jq please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/jq

    Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
