Description

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3712 advisory.

- Directory traversal vulnerability in the Chorus2 2.4.2 add-on for Kodi allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a %2E%2E%252e (encoded dot dot slash) in the image path, as demonstrated by image/image%3A%2F%2F%2e%2e%252fetc%252fpasswd. (CVE-2017-5982)
