It was found that pygments, a generic syntax highlighter, is vulnerable to a CPU exhaustion attack via a crafted SML file.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2.2.0+dfsg-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your pygments packages.

For the detailed security status of pygments please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/pygments

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
