Debian DLA-1768-1 : checkstyle security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 124341

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

checkstyle was loading external DTDs by default, which is now disabled by default.

If needed it can be re-enabled by setting the system property checkstyle.enableExternalDtdLoad to true.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 5.9-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your checkstyle 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 checkstyle, and checkstyle-doc packages.
