Description

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

- Traefik is an open source HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer. From 2.8.2 until 2.11.56 and 3.7.12,
HTTP/3 entrypoints do not apply entryPoints..transport.respondingTimeouts.readTimeout because the timeout
is enforced on a TCP connection and the HTTP/3 server has no corresponding QUIC stream deadline. An
unauthenticated client can use a slow request body, trickling data indefinitely while holding a request
and an upstream connection open and exhausting backends with bounded connection pools. This issue is fixed
in 2.11.56 and 3.7.12. (CVE-2026-88012)

Solution

Update the github.com/traefik/traefik/v2 library and its related packages to version 2.11.56 or later.
