Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Apache Traffic Server, a reverse and forward proxy server, which could result in denial of service, HTTP request smuggling, cache poisoning or incomplete dropping of privileges.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 9.2.5+ds-0+deb12u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your trafficserver packages.
