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

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 462659

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, the jq bytecode VM's data stack tracks its
 allocation size in a signed int. When the stack grows beyond ≈1 GiB (via deeply nested generator forks),
 the doubling arithmetic overflows. The wrapped value is passed to realloc and then used for a memmove with
 attacker-influenced offsets. (CVE-2026-41257)

Solution

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