    Package        : lxd
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-64507

    It was discovered that LXD, a system container and virtual machine
    manager, is prone to a local privilege escalation vulnerability if
    unprivileged users are allowed to access LXD through lxd-user.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
    in version 5.0.2-5+deb12u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your lxd packages.

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