NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream aws-cli-2 package and not the aws-cli-2 package as distributed by Minimos. See How to fix? for Minimos:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

setuptools is a package that allows users to download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages. Prior to 83.0.0, FileList applied MANIFEST.in exclude, global-exclude, recursive-exclude, and prune directives by matching compiled glob patterns against on-disk file names without Unicode normalization, so on macOS APFS or HFS+ an NFD file name could bypass an NFC exclusion rule and be packed into a source distribution. This issue is fixed in version 83.0.0.
