    Package        : pdns-recursor
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-52686 CVE-2026-52688

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PDNS Recursor, a
    resolving name server, which could result in cache poisoning or DNSSEC
    validation bypass.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 5.2.12-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pdns-recursor packages.
