    Version        : 0.6.2+dfsg-3.1+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2021-3838 CVE-2022-2400

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in php-dompdf, a PHP library to
    convert HTML to PDF.

    CVE-2021-3838

        php-dompdf is vulnerable to PHAR deserialization due to a lack of
        checking on the protocol before passing it into the
        file_get_contents() function. An attacker who can upload files of
        any type to the server can pass in the phar:// protocol to
        unserialize the uploaded file and instantiate arbitrary PHP
        objects. This can lead to remote code execution, especially when
        DOMPdf is used with frameworks with documented POP chains like
        Laravel or vulnerable developer code

    CVE-2022-2400

        php-dompdf was vulnerable to External Control of File Name bypassing
        unallowed access verification.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    0.6.2+dfsg-3.1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your php-dompdf packages.
