    Package        : squid     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-5824 CVE-2025-54574

    Two security issues were discovered in the Squid proxy caching server,     which could result in the execution of arbitrary code, information     disclosure or denial of service.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 5.7-2+deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your squid packages.

    For the detailed security status of squid please refer to     its security tracker page at:
