    Package        : network-manager-l2tp     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-19624 CVE-2026-75131 CVE-2026-75883

    Andres Berbescu discovered two vulnerabilities in the L2TP connection     plugin for Network Manager which allowed a local user with permissions     to create/activate personal VPN connections to escalate their privileges     to root.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.20.20-2+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your network-manager-l2tp packages.
