    Package        : mupdf
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-3308
    Debian Bug     : 1133189

    A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was discovered in MuPDF, a lightweight
    PDF viewer, which may result in denial of service or the execution of
    arbitrary code if malformed documents are opened.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
    in version 1.21.1+ds2-1+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.25.1+ds1-6+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your mupdf packages.

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