Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3963-2 addresses two recently discovered security flaws within Ansible that may lead to potential data leaks.

CVE-2024-8775

allowing unauthorized access or actions.

CVE-2024-9902

and take ownership of it when a privileged user executes
the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory.
