This fixes a bug that allowed any document compiled with LuaTeX to execute arbitrary shell commands, even with shell escape disabled. This issue is CVE-2023-32700.
See https://tug.org/~mseven/luatex.html for more details.
The fix applied does not fix the socket vulnerability descibed on that page (CVE-2023-32668), which allows any code to create network requests. Patching this requires breaking compatibility. In particular the ConTeXt version shipped with texlive-2022 does not work with luatex-1.17. I'm not sure what we want to do about that. Debian also only patches CVE-2023-32700.
