Debian DLA-1710-1 : xmltooling security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 122825

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Ross Geerlings discovered that the XMLTooling library didn't correctly handle exceptions on malformed XML declarations, which could result in denial of service against the application using XMLTooling.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.5.3-2+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your xmltooling 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 packages.
