                     CVE-2026-62436

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Xen hypervisor,
    which could result in privilege escalation, information disclosure or
    denial of service.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 4.20.3+127-gc42374a105-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your xen packages.

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

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
    found at: https://www.debian.org/security/
