Package : python-reportlab
CVE ID : CVE-2023-33733
Elyas Damej discovered that a sandbox mechanism in ReportLab, a Python
library to create PDF documents, could be bypassed which may result in
the execution of arbitrary code when converting malformed HTML to a PDF
document.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.6.12-1+deb12u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-reportlab packages.
