Package : usbmuxd Version : 1.1.1-2+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2025-66004 Debian Bug : 1122507

It was discovered that usbmuxd, USB multiplexor daemon for iPhone and iPod Touch devices, incorrectly handled certain paths received with the SavePairRecord command. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to delete and write files named *.plist in arbitrary locations.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.1-2+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your usbmuxd packages.
