There are 3 open security issues in buster.

1 important issue:

CVE-2023-30577: AMANDA (Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver) before tag-community-3.5.4 mishandles argument checking for runtar.c, a different vulnerability than CVE-2022-37705.

2 issues postponed or untriaged:

CVE-2022-37703: (needs triaging) In Amanda 3.5.1, an information leak vulnerability was found in the calcsize SUID binary. An attacker can abuse this vulnerability to know if a directory exists or not anywhere in the fs. The binary will use `opendir()` as root directly without checking the path, letting the attacker provide an arbitrary path.
CVE-2022-37705: (needs triaging) A privilege escalation flaw was found in Amanda 3.5.1 in which the backup user can acquire root privileges. The vulnerable component is the runtar SUID program, which is a wrapper to run /usr/bin/tar with specific arguments that are controllable by the attacker. This program mishandles the arguments passed to tar binary (it expects that the argument name and value are separated with a space; however, separating them with an equals sign is also supported),

4 low-priority security issues in bullseye low

4 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2022-37703: (needs triaging) In Amanda 3.5.1, an information leak vulnerability was found in the calcsize SUID binary. An attacker can abuse this vulnerability to know if a directory exists or not anywhere in the fs. The binary will use `opendir()` as root directly without checking the path, letting the attacker provide an arbitrary path.
CVE-2022-37704: (needs triaging) Amanda 3.5.1 allows privilege escalation from the regular user backup to root. The SUID binary located at /lib/amanda/rundump will execute /usr/sbin/dump as root with controlled arguments from the attacker which may lead to escalation of privileges, denial of service, and information disclosure.
CVE-2022-37705: (needs triaging) A privilege escalation flaw was found in Amanda 3.5.1 in which the backup user can acquire root privileges. The vulnerable component is the runtar SUID program, which is a wrapper to run /usr/bin/tar with specific arguments that are controllable by the attacker.
