Package        : geographiclib
Version        : 1.51-1+deb11u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2025-60751

Geographiclib is a C++ library to solve geodesic problems. A stack buffer
overflow occurs when the GeoConvert tool receives a crafted input. The overflow
occurs because the program does not properly validate an internal index,
allowing an out-of-bounds write on the stack. An attacker can exploit this
vulnerability to hijack the program's control flow by overwriting a return
address to point to a libc function and execute arbitrary code.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
1.51-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your geographiclib packages.
