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

asynchronous event notification library, incorrectly truncated certain
hostnames, which may result in bypass of security measures on internal
APIs or SSRF attacks.

in version 1.40.0-2+deb11u1.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
