Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - Salt's junos execution module contained an unsafe YAML decode/load usage. A specially crafted YAML payload
 processed by the junos module could lead to unintended code execution under the context of the Salt
 process. (CVE-2025-62348)

 - Salt contains an authentication protocol version downgrade weakness that can allow a malicious minion to
 bypass newer authentication/security features by using an older request payload format, enabling minion
 impersonation and circumventing protections introduced in response to prior issues. (CVE-2025-62349)
