Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that the previous upload of the package prosody versioned 0.9.12-2+deb9u3 introduced a regression in the mod_auth_internal_hashed module. Big thanks to Andre Bianchi for the reporting an issue and for testing the update.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.12-2+deb9u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your prosody packages.
