It was found that ReportLab, a Python library to create PDF documents, did not properly parse color strings, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code through a crafted input document.

For Debian 8 Jessie, this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.8-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-reportlab packages.
