Two issues have been found in salt, a remote manager to administer servers.
These issues are related to remote hackers bypassing authentication to execute arbitrary commands and getting informations about files on the server
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2016.11.2+ds-1+deb9u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your salt packages.
For the detailed security status of salt please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/salt
