Package : libuv1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-24806 Debian Bug : 1063484

It was discovered that the uv_getaddrinfo() function in libuv, an asynchronous event notification library, incorrectly truncated certain hostnames, which may result in bypass of security measures on internal APIs or SSRF attacks.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 1.40.0-2+deb11u1.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1.44.2-1+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libuv1 packages.

For the detailed security status of libuv1 please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libuv1
