- affected< 1.123.22
- affected>= 2.0.0 and < 2.9.3
- affected>= 2.10.0 and < 2.10.1
As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.
