Package : pygments
Version : 2.2.0+dfsg-1+deb9u2
CVE ID : CVE-2021-27291

It was discovered that there was a series of denial of service
vulnerabilities in Pygments, a popular syntax highlighting library
for Python.

A number of regular expressions had exponential or cubic worst-case
complexity which could cause a remote denial of service (DoS) when
provided with malicious input.

For Debian 9 "Stretch", this problem has been fixed in version
2.2.0+dfsg-1+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your pygments packages.
