ALSA-2022:1932 advisory.
- lxml is a library for processing XML and HTML in the Python language. Prior to version 4.6.5, the HTML
Cleaner in lxml.html lets certain crafted script content pass through, as well as script content in SVG
files embedded using data URIs. Users that employ the HTML cleaner in a security relevant context should
upgrade to lxml 4.6.5 to receive a patch. There are no known workarounds available. (CVE-2021-43818)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
