Package        : yaws
CVE ID         : CVE-2020-24379 CVE-2020-24916

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in yaws, a high performance HTTP 1.1
webserver written in Erlang.

CVE-2020-24379

    The WebDAV implementation is prone to a XML External Entity (XXE)
    injection vulnerability.

CVE-2020-24916

    The CGI implementation does not properly sanitize CGI requests
    allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via
    specially crafted CGI executable names.

For the stable distribution (buster), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.0.6+dfsg-1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your yaws packages.
