    Andres Berbescu discovered two vulnerabilities in the L2TP connection
    plugin for Network Manager which allowed a local user with permissions
    to create/activate personal VPN connections to escalate their privileges
    to root.

    For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
    1.20.8-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your network-manager-l2tp packages.

    For the detailed security status of network-manager-l2tp please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
