    Package        : buildstream
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-82331

    It was discovered that missing validation of tar sources in the
    Buildstream software integration tool could allow to write files on the
    build host.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1.6.9-2+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your buildstream packages.
