"Sympa, a modern mailing list manager, grants full SOAP API access by
sending 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.

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

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
