CVE ID         : CVE-2022-37704
Debian Bug     : 1029829

It was discovered that there was a potential privilege escalation
vulnerability in the "amanda" backup utility.

The SUID binary located at /lib/amanda/rundump executed /usr/sbin/dump
as root with arguments controlled by the attacker, which may have led
to an escalation of privileges, denial of service (DoS) or information
disclosure.
