There are 2 open security issues in buster.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2020-16121:
(needs triaging)
PackageKit provided detailed error messages to unprivileged callers that exposed information about file presence and mimetype of files that the user would be unable to determine on its own.
- CVE-2020-16122:
(needs triaging)
PackageKit's apt backend mistakenly treated all local debs as trusted. The apt security model is based on repository trust and not on the contents of individual files. On sites with configured PolicyKit rules this may allow users to install malicious packages.
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
