It was discovered that Awstats, a web server log analyzer, was vulnerable to path traversal attacks. A remote unauthenticated attacker could leverage that to perform arbitrary code execution. The previous fix did not fully address the issue when the default /etc/awstats/awstats.conf is not present.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 7.6+dfsg-1+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your awstats packages.

For the detailed security status of awstats please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/awstats

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
