The fix for CVE-2020-27783, released as DLA 2467-1, was incomplete as the <math/svg> component was still affected by the vulnerability. This update includes an additional patch that completes the fix. Note that a package with version 3.7.1-1+deb9u2 was uploaded, but before the publication of the advisory a regression was discovered, which was immediately corrected prior to publication of this advisory.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 3.7.1-1+deb9u3.
