    Version        : 3.38.3-1+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-3155
    Debian Bug     : #1102080

    A flaw was found in Yelp. The Gnome user help application allows the help
    document to execute arbitrary scripts. This vulnerability allows malicious
    users to input help documents, which may exfiltrate user files to an external
    environment.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    3.38.3-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your yelp-xsl packages.

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