The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3681 advisory.

  - In Amanda 3.5.1, an information leak vulnerability was found in the calcsize SUID binary. An attacker can     abuse this vulnerability to know if a directory exists or not anywhere in the fs. The binary will use     `opendir()` as root directly without checking the path, letting the attacker provide an arbitrary path.
    (CVE-2022-37703)

  - A privilege escalation flaw was found in Amanda 3.5.1 in which the backup user can acquire root     privileges. The vulnerable component is the runtar SUID program, which is a wrapper to run /usr/bin/tar     with specific arguments that are controllable by the attacker. This program mishandles the arguments     passed to tar binary (it expects that the argument name and value are separated with a space; however,     separating them with an equals sign is also supported), (CVE-2022-37705)

    --create, allowing users to manipulate commands and perform command injection as root. (CVE-2016-10729)

    An issue was discovered in Amanda 3.3.1. A user with backup privileges can trivially compromise a client     installation. Amstar is an Amanda Application API script. It should not be run by users directly. It uses     star to backup and restore data. It runs binaries with root permissions when parsing the command line     argument --star-path. (CVE-2016-10730)
