Two vulnerabilities were discovered in yaws, a high performance HTTP 1.1
webserver written in Erlang.
CVE-2020-24379
The WebDAV implementation is prone to a XML External Entity (XXE)
injection vulnerability.

The CGI implementation does not properly sanitize CGI requests
allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands via
