Package        : raptor2
CVE ID         : CVE-2017-18926
Debian Bug     : 973889

It was discovered that raptor2, an RDF parser library, is prone to
heap-based buffer overflow flaws, which could result in denial of
service, or potentially the execution of arbitrary code, if a specially
crafted file is processed.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.14-1.1~deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your raptor2 packages.
