    Package        : pcre2
    Version        : 10.42-1+deb12u1
    CVE ID         : not yet available

    Several issues have been found in PCRE2, a Perl Compatible Regular
    Expression library, which could result in denial of service or possibly
    execution of arbitrary code if patterns can be attacker-controlled.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
    10.42-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pcre2 packages.
