    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-9256 CVE-2026-42946
    Debian Bug     : 1138794

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discoverd in Nginx, a high-performance web
    and reverse proxy server, which could result in remote code execution,
    denial of service or memory disclosure.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed
    in version 1.22.1-9+deb12u8.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.26.3-3+deb13u6.

    We recommend that you upgrade your nginx packages.

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

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
