Debian DSA-3343-1 : twig - security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 85657

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

James Kettle, Alain Tiemblo, Christophe Coevoet and Fabien Potencier discovered that twig, a templating engine for PHP, did not correctly process its input. End users allowed to submit twig templates could use specially crafted code to trigger remote code execution, even in sandboxed templates.

Solution

Upgrade the twig packages.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1.16.2-1+deb8u1.
