 Package : flask Version : 1.0.2-3+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2023-30861 Debian Bug : #1035670

 It was discovered that Flask, a lightweight WSGI web application framework, will under certain conditions cache a response containing data intended for one client and subsequently may send the response to other clients.
