Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

In Eclipse Web Tools Platform, a component of the Eclipse IDE, XML and DTD files referring to external entities could be exploited to send the contents of local files to a remote server when edited or validated, even when external entity resolution is disabled in the user preferences.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.3-3+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your eclipse-wtp packages.

For the detailed security status of eclipse-wtp please refer to its security tracker page at:

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.
