"It was discovered that there was a code injection issue in PyXDG, a
library used to locate 'FreeDesktop.org' configuration/cache/etc.
directories.

A lack of sanitisation allowed arbitrary Python code embedded in the
Category element of a Menu XML document in a .menu file to be
executed.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in pyxdg version
0.25-4+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pyxdg packages.

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues.");
