    Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Ironic,     the OpenStack component to management and provision of baremetal     servers, which could result in bypass of administrative access/API     restrictions, information disclosure or the execution of arbitrary     code via malformed images.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1:29.0.5-0+deb13u3.
