Synopsis

Description

It was discovered that there was an issue in the 'jupyter-notebook' interactive notebook system where a maliciously-crafted link could redirect the browser to a malicious/spoofed website.

For Debian 9 'Stretch', this problem has been fixed in version 4.2.3-4+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your jupyter-notebook packages.
