    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-28356

    It was discovered that the parse_options_header() function of multipart,
    a Python multipart/form-data parser was susceptible to denial of service
    via malformed request headers or multipart/form-data streams.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.2.1-2+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your multipart packages.
