Description

### Describe the bug

Hello — following up on #487 and #497. Our monthly security scans of the current
published image `fluentd:v1.19.3-2.2` (Debian 13 "trixie" base) still show a number
of unpatched Critical/High OS-package vulnerabilities. We confirmed these are present
by pulling and scanning `v1.19.3-2.2` directly (Amazon Inspector / grype), and every
one reports `fixedInVersion: none` — i.e. no upstream Debian fix is available yet.

Totals: 4 Critical + 8 High across perl, glibc, and sqlite3. Note the perl
CVE-2026-48959/48961/48962 entries carried over from #497 and are still unpatched.

Could you share an expected timeline for these packages to be picked up in a
published image? Specifically, we'd like to confirm whether the fixes are pending
upstream in Debian (awaiting a trixie point release) or whether a future
`fluentd:v1.19.3-x.y` rebuild is planned once Debian ships the patched packages.

### To Reproduce

Pull `fluentd:v1.19.3-2.2` and scan with any vulnerability scanner
(Docker Scout / grype / Amazon Inspector). All 12 CVEs above are reported with
no fixed version available.

### Expected behavior

The latest official image should not contain known Critical/High perl/glibc/sqlite3
vulnerabilities once upstream (Debian) fixes are available, and ideally a rebuilt
image is published shortly after the corresponding Debian point release.

### Your Environment

```markdown
Tag of fluentd-docker-image: `fluentd:v1.19.3-2.2` (Debian 13 trixie).
```

### Your Configuration

```apache
N/A — not a runtime config issue; this concerns unpatched OS dependencies
(perl / glibc / sqlite3) in the published image.
```

### Your Error Log

```shell
N/A — detected via vulnerability scan of the published image.
```

### Additional context

Chaining from #487 (glibc/systemd, fixed in v1.19.2-2.4) and #497 (perl/expat).

Research direction

Start by pulling fluentd:v1.19.3-2.2 and reproducing the report with grype or Amazon Inspector, then check Debian trixie advisories for fixed versions of perl, glibc, and sqlite3. Done means the applicable Debian fixes are available, the image is rebuilt and published, and a scan no longer reports the addressed vulnerabilities.
