                     CVE-2026-42005

    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the dnsdist DNS
    loadbalancer, which could result in denial of service, information
    disclosure or bypass of security rules.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.9.15-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dnsdist packages.

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