DSA-6416-2 jq - regression update
Scope: Debian. This update record adds version, fix and known-issue context. Its publication date is not a lifecycle boundary.
Summary
The update for jq released as DSA-6416-1 introduced a regression in the loading of modules. The fix for CVE-2026-44777 registered each library before its own dependencies, so a module reached only through another module (a transitive import or include) was discarded as unreferenced and jq aborted with an assertion failure at compile time. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/DSA-6416-2
