Debian Stretch: DSA-4676-2 Critical Salt Update for Security Issues

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in salt, a powerful remote
execution manager, which could result in retrieve of user tokens from
the salt master, execution of arbitrary commands on salt minions,
arbitrary directory access to authenticated users or arbitrary code
execution on salt-api hosts.

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed
in version 2016.11.2+ds-1+deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your salt packages.
