Version        : 1.16.4-3+deb11u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2022-1215 CVE-2026-50292

Two vulnerabilities were found in libinput, an input device management
and event handling library.

CVE-2022-1215

    libinput did not properly handled evdev devices, which may potentially be
    exploited by malicious local users in specific setup to execute arbitrary
    code. Reported by Albin Eldstål-Ahrens and Lukas Lamster.

CVE-2026-50292

    A udev helper provided by libinput performed insufficient sanitising of
    device properties, which can result in local privilege escalation in
    some setups. Reported by Csome.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
1.16.4-3+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libinput packages.
