CVE ID         : CVE-2018-16737 CVE-2018-16758

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in tinc, a Virtual Private
Network (VPN) daemon. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:

CVE-2018-16737

    Michael Yonli discovered a flaw in the implementation of the
    authentication protocol that could allow a remote attacker to
    establish an authenticated, one-way connection with another node.

CVE-2018-16758

    Michael Yonli discovered that a man-in-the-middle that has
    intercepted a TCP connection might be able to disable encryption of
    UDP packets sent by a node.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
1.0.24-2+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tinc packages.
