Package : libitext5-java
CVE ID : CVE-2021-43113
Debian Bug : 1014597

It was discovered that the CompareTool of iText, a Java PDF library which uses
the external ghostscript software to compare PDFs at a pixel level, allowed
command injection when parsing a specially crafted filename.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.5.13.2-1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libitext5-java packages.
