medium Nessus Plugin ID 148146

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in jquery's handling of untrusted HTML which may result in execution of untrusted code.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.1-2+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your jquery packages.

For the detailed security status of jquery 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 libjs-jquery package.
