Package : libaws Version : 20.2-2+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2024-55581 Debian Bug :

AdaCore released a security advisory for Insecure defaults in AWS.Client when linked with GnuTLS.
The debian package of libaws is built with GnuTLS and the reproducer included in the advisory was used to confirm the (previous version of) the package was affected. The upstream fix was backported to the packaged version to address the problem.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 20.2-2+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libaws packages.

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