    Package        : sympa
    Version        : 6.2.70~dfsg-2+deb12u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2024-55919
    Debian Bug     : 1090188

    A flaw was found in Sympas web interface, a modern mailing list manager.
    An attacker may bypass authentication by using an arbitrary e-mail
    address when the generic SSO loging feature was enabled.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, this problem has been fixed in version
    6.2.70~dfsg-2+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your sympa packages.

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