Package : simgear Version : 1:2020.3.6+dfsg-1+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2025-0781

A security vulnerability has been discovered in simgear, a collection of libraries for constructing simulation and visualization applications such as FlightGear.

An attacker can bypass the sandboxing of Nasal scripts and arbitrarily write to any file path that the user has permission to modify at the operating-system level.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1:2020.3.6+dfsg-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your simgear packages.
