    Package        : libjson-xs-perl
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-40928

    Michael Hudak discovered a flaw in libjson-xs-perl, a module for
    manipulating JSON-formatted data. An integer buffer overflow causing a
    segfault when parsing specially crafted JSON, may allow an attacker to
    mount a denial-of-service attack or cause other unspecified impact.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
    in version 4.040-1~deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.040-1~deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libjson-xs-perl packages.

    For the detailed security status of libjson-xs-perl please refer to its
    security tracker page at:
