Debian 9: DLA-2511-1 Critical: highlight.js Prototype Pollution

An issue has been found in highlight.js, a JavaScript library for syntax
highlighting. If a website or application renders user provided data it
might be affected by a Prototype Pollution. This might result in strange
behavior or crashes of applications that do not correctly handle unknown
properties.


For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
8.2+ds-5+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your highlight.js packages.
