Package: src:python-markdown
Version: 3.0.1-3
Severity: grave
Tags: security
Justification: user security hole

The new version of pyyaml no longer allows use of yaml.load() without a
loader being specifed.  This raises a deprecation warning which has
caused and autopkgtest failure on this package.  These are generally
trivial to fix, see the upstream guidance [1].
