Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in packagekit, a package management service.
CVE-2020-16121
Vaisha Bernard discovered that PackageKit incorrectly handled certain methods. A local attacker could use this issue to learn the MIME type of any file on the system.
CVE-2020-16122
Sami Niemimäki discovered that PackageKit incorrectly handled local deb packages. A local user could possibly use this issue to install untrusted packages, contrary to expectations.
For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.1.5-2+deb9u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your packagekit packages.
For the detailed security status of packagekit please refer to its security tracker page at:
