NVD Description

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

Borg (aka BorgBackup) before 1.0.9 has a flaw in the cryptographic protocol used to authenticate the manifest (list of archives), potentially allowing an attacker to spoof the list of archives.
