Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered in libmatio, a MAT File I/O
Library.

  was found, which could lead to potential remote code execution if libmatio is
  embedded in services that accepts user-supplied .mat files.

CVE-2025-2338
  A Denial of Service (DoS) and head-based buffer overflow was found, which
  could potentially lead to remote code execution if libmatio is embedded in
  services that accepts user-supplied .mat files.

CVE-2022-1515
  A memory leak was discovered in matio 1.5.21 and earlier. This could lead
  to a potential Denial of Service (DoS).

CVE-2020-36428
 A heap-based buffer overflow was found which could lead to potential remote
 code execution if libmatio is embedded in services that accepts user-supplied
 .mat files.

Additionally CVE-2025-2337 and CVE-2020-36428 was investigated and deemed
not to apply (directly) to this libmatio version.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
