NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream salt package and not the salt package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

When using the local_batch client from salt-api in SaltStack Salt before 2015.8.13, 2016.3.x before 2016.3.5, and 2016.11.x before 2016.11.2, external authentication is not respected, enabling all authentication to be bypassed.
