 Package : swift CVE ID : CVE-2026-50221 CVE-2026-71191 CVE-2026-71192

 Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in Swift, a distributed virtual object store, which could result in information disclosure via SSRF or authorisation bypass in the s3api middleware.

 For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 2.35.1-0+deb13u3.

 We recommend that you upgrade your swift packages.
