It was discovered that Yelp, the help browser for the GNOME desktop,
allowed help files to execute arbitrary scripts. Opening a malformed
help file could have resulted in data exfiltration.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 42.2-1+deb12u1 of yelp and version 42.1-2+deb12u1 of yelp-xsl.
We recommend that you upgrade your yelp packages.
