CVE-2020-11728

    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.

CVE-2020-11729

    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.
