<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>
<p>Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in packagekit, a package
management service.</p>

<ul>

<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-16121">CVE-2020-16121</a>

    <p>Vaisha Bernard discovered that PackageKit incorrectly handled
    certain methods. A local attacker could use this issue to learn the
    MIME type of any file on the system.</p></li>

<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2020-16122">CVE-2020-16122</a>

    <p>Sami Niemimäki discovered that PackageKit incorrectly handled local
    deb packages. A local user could possibly use this issue to install
    untrusted packages, contrary to expectations.</p></li>

</ul>

<p>For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version
1.1.5-2+deb9u2.</p>

<p>We recommend that you upgrade your packagekit packages.</p>
