Package        : hsqldb
Version        : 2.4.1-2+deb10u2
CVE ID         : CVE-2023-1183

Gregor Kopf of Secfault Security GmbH discovered that HSQLDB, a Java SQL
database engine, allowed the execution of spurious scripting commands in
.script and .log files. Hsqldb supports a "SCRIPT" keyword which is
normally used to record the commands input by the database admin to output
such a script. In combination with LibreOffice, an attacker could craft an
odb containing a "database/script" file which itself contained a SCRIPT
command where the contents of the file could be written to a new file whose
location was determined by the attacker.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
2.4.1-2+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your hsqldb packages.
