Package : lava
CVE ID : CVE-2022-44641
Debian Bug : 1024429

Igor Ponomarev discovered that LAVA, a continuous integration system for
deploying operating systems onto physical and virtual hardware for
running tests, was suspectible to denial of service via recursive XML
entity expansion.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 2020.12-5+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lava packages.
