    Package        : usbmuxd     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-66004     Debian Bug     : 1122507

    A path traversal vulnerability was discovered in usbmuxd, a multiplexor daemon     used to coordinate USB connections from and to Apple devices (iPhone, iPad,     iPod).

    Exploiting this vulnerability enables an unprivileged user to create and delete     files named `*.plist` (and, in some cases, arbitrarily named) as the user     running the daemon (`usbmux` by default).

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed     in version 1.1.1-2+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in     version 1.1.1-6+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your usbmuxd packages.
