Package : kicad
CVE ID : CVE-2022-23803 CVE-2022-23804 CVE-2022-23946 CVE-2022-23947

Multiple buffer overflows were discovered in Kicad, a suite of programs
for the creation of printed circuit boards, which could result in the
execution of arbitrary code if malformed Gerber/Excellon files.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in
version 5.1.9+dfsg1-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your kicad packages.
