    Package        : pdns
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-52682

    A vulnerability was discovered in PowerDNS Authoritative server
    (pdns), which may result in denial of service (increased memory and
    CPU usage) when processing a specially crafted DNS packet.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 4.9.17-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your pdns packages.

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