Debian DSA-5011-1: Salt Security Update for Privilege Escalation Threats

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been discovered in Salt, a powerful
remote execution manager, that allow for local privilege escalation on a
minion, server side template injection attacks, insufficient checks for eauth
credentials, shell and command injections or incorrect validation of SSL
certificates.

For the oldstable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed
in version 2018.3.4+dfsg1-6+deb10u3.

For the stable distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in
version 3002.6+dfsg1-4+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your salt packages.
