The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'sympa' package(s) announced via the DLA-2499-1 advisory. Sympa, a modern mailing list manager, grants full SOAP API access by sending an invalid string as the cookie value, if the SOAP endpoint was enabled. An attacker could manipulate the mailing lists, including subscribing e-mails or getting the list of subscribers. For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 6.2.16~dfsg-3+deb9u5. We recommend that you upgrade your sympa packages
