Summary

## Impact

Several quadratic complexity bugs in commonmarker's underlying [`cmark-gfm`](https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm) library may lead to unbounded resource exhaustion and subsequent denial of service.

The following vulnerabilities were addressed:

* [CVE-2023-22483](https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/security/advisories/GHSA-29g3-96g3-jg6c) * [CVE-2023-22484](https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/security/advisories/GHSA-24f7-9frr-5h2r) * [CVE-2023-22485](https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/security/advisories/GHSA-c944-cv5f-hpvr) * [CVE-2023-22486](https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/security/advisories/GHSA-r572-jvj2-3m8p)
