Hi,

The following vulnerabilities were published for salt.

CVE-2023-20897[0]:
| Salt masters prior to 3005.2 or 3006.2 contain a DOS in minion
| return. After receiving several bad packets on the request server
| equal to the number of worker threads, the master will become
| unresponsive to return requests until restarted.


CVE-2023-20898[1]:
| Git Providers can read from the wrong environment because they get
| the same cache directory base name in Salt masters prior to 3005.2
| or 3006.2. Anything that uses Git Providers with different
| environments can get garbage data or the wrong data, which can lead
| to wrongful data disclosure, wrongful executions, data corruption
| and/or crash.


If you fix the vulnerabilities please also make sure to include the
