+ (title
+ (en "Daemon vulnerability allowing store corruption has been fixed")
+ (fr "Une faille du démon permettant de corrompre le dépôt a été corrigée"))
+ (body
+ (en "A vulnerability in the build daemon, @command{guix-daemon}, was
+identified and fixed. The vulnerability would allow unprivileged users to
+corrupt the result of @dfn{fixed-output derivations} such as source code
+tarballs and Git checkouts, which in turn could lead to local privilege
+escalation.
+
+This bug is fixed and Guix System users are advised to upgrade their system,
+with a command along the lines of:
+
+@example
+sudo guix system reconfigure /run/current-system/configuration.scm
+sudo herd restart guix-daemon
+@end example
+
+See @uref{https://issues.guix.gnu.org/69728} for more information on this
+issue.")
+ (fr "Une faille de sécurité du démon de compilation,
+@command{guix-daemon}, a été identifiée et corrigée. La faille permettait à
+un·e utilisateur·rice sans privilège de corrompre le résultat d'une
+@dfn{dérivation à sortie fixe} telle qu'une archive ou un @i{checkout} Git, ce
+qui peut ensuite permettre une élévation locale de privilèges.
+
+Ce problème est corrigé et les utilisateur·rices de Guix System sont invité·es
+à mettre à jour leur système avec une commande telle que :
