    Package        : python-cryptography
    Version        : 2.6.1-3+deb10u4
    CVE ID         : CVE-2023-23931

    It was discovered that there was a regression in the previous fix for
    python-cryptography, a Python library offering a number of encryption
    and cryptography primitives.

    The original issue was that there was a potential memory corrution
    vulnerability. However, the change introduced a regression due to
    incorrectly backporting upstream's patch to the (older) version in
    Debian LTS.

    For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
    2.6.1-3+deb10u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-cryptography packages.

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