Moderate: tftp security update
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is typically used only for booting diskless workstations. The tftp packages include the tftp and tftp-server subpackages. The tftp subpackage provides the user interface for TFTP and the tftp-server subpackage provides the server. This allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. Security Fix(es): * tftp: tftp-hpa: Denial of Service due to out-of-bounds read/write in remap engine (CVE-2026-85234) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
