Package        : setuptools
Version        : 52.0.0-4+deb11u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2022-40897 CVE-2024-6345
Debian Bug     : 

Brief introduction 

CVE-2022-40897

    setuptools before 65.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial
    of service via HTML in a crafted package or custom PackageIndex
    page. There is a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)
    in package_index.py.

CVE-2024-6345

    A vulnerability in the package_index module allows for remote code
    execution via its download functions. These functions, which are
    used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved
    from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If
    these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as
    package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
52.0.0-4+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your setuptools packages.
