    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.
