Debian: DLA-3876-1 Critical: Setuptools Denial of Service and Code Exec

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.
