Echo: jq: security update to 1.7.1-6+deb13u2+e2

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 458102

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - jq is a command-line JSON processor. In 1.8.1 and earlier, Top-level jq programs loaded from a file with
 -f are truncated at the first embedded NUL byte on current upstream HEAD. A crafted filter file such as .
 followed by \x00 and arbitrary suffix compiles and executes as only the prefix before the NUL. This leaves
 jq with a post-CVE-2026-33948 prefix/full-buffer mismatch on the compilation path even though the JSON
 parser path has already been fixed. (CVE-2026-41256)

Solution

Update the jq library and its related packages to version 1.7.1-6+deb13u2+e2 or later.
