Following CVEs were reported against the awl source package:
An issue was discovered in DAViCal Andrew's Web Libraries (AWL) through 0.60. Session management does not use a sufficiently hard-to-guess session key. Anyone who can guess the microsecond time (and the incrementing session_id) can impersonate a session.
An issue was discovered in DAViCal Andrew's Web Libraries (AWL) through 0.60. Long-term session cookies, uses to provide long-term session continuity, are not generated securely, enabling a brute-force attack that may be successful.
For Debian 8 Jessie
, these problems have been fixed in version
0.55-1+deb8u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your awl packages.
