Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a path traversal vulnerability in jsch, a pure Java implementation of the SSH2 protocol.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.51-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your jsch 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 libjsch-java, and libjsch-java-doc packages.
