    Package        : qemu
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-54566 CVE-2025-54567

    This update removes the usage of the C (Credential) flag for the
    binfmt_misc registration within the qemu-user package, as it allowed for
    privilege escalation when running a suid/sgid binary under qemu-user.
    This means suid/sgid foreign-architecture binaries are not running with
    elevated privileges under qemu-user anymore.  If you relied on this
    behavior of qemu-user in the past (running suid/sgid foreign-arch
    binaries), this will require changes to your deployment.

    In Bookworm the affected packages are qemu-user-static (and
    qemu-user-binfmt) instead of qemu-user.

    Additionally, two security issues were fixed the in SR-IOV support
    of QEMU system emulation.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
    in version 1:7.2+dfsg-7+deb12u15.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1:10.0.2+ds-2+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your qemu packages.

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

    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
