    It was found that jq, a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON parser, was     vulnerable to multiple memory corruption attacks, which could lead to     application crashes, denial-of-service conditions, and potentially arbitrary     code execution through heap corruption when parsing untrusted input.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version     1.6-2.1+deb12u2.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these issues have been addressed in DLA-4599-1 and     DLA-4661-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your jq packages.

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