Debian: Important Fix for Arbitrary Code Execution in pdfminer DLA-4374-2

It was previously discovered that there was a potential arbitrary code execution in pdfminer, a tool for extracting information from PDF documents. A malicious, zipped pickle file might have contained code that might have been executed when the PDF was processed. Although a fix for this was released in pdfminer version.

A malicious, zipped pickle file might have contained code that might have been executed when the PDF was processed. Although a fix for this was released in pdfminer version 20200726-1+deb11u2 (via DLA-4374-1), upstream subsequently determined that this mitigation was insufficient and a more comprehensive mitigation that replaces the pickle-based mechanism entirely was applied instead. For Debian 11 bullseye, this updated fix has been released in version 20200726-1+deb11u2. We recommend that you upgrade your pdfminer packages.
