Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for cairosvg.

CVE-2021-21236[0]:
| CairoSVG is a Python (pypi) package. CairoSVG is an SVG converter
| based on Cairo. In CairoSVG before version 2.5.1, there is a regular
| expression denial of service (REDoS) vulnerability. When processing
| SVG files, the python package CairoSVG uses two regular expressions
| which are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (REDoS).
| If an attacker provides a malicious SVG, it can make cairosvg get
| stuck processing the file for a very long time. This is fixed in
| version 2.5.1. See Referenced GitHub advisory for more information.
