Debian DLA-1621-1 : c3p0 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 119941

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability was discovered in c3p0, a library for JDBC connection pooling, that may be used to resolve information outside of the intended sphere of control.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.1.2-9+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your c3p0 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libc3p0-java, and libc3p0-java-doc packages.
