Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

It was discovered that the webhook validation of Anymail, a Django email backends for multiple ESPs, is prone to a timing attack. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to obtain a WEBHOOK_AUTHORIZATION secret and post arbitrary email tracking events.

Solution

Upgrade the django-anymail packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.8-2+deb9u1.
