high Nessus Plugin ID 99250

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

This update includes the changes in tzdata 2017b. Notable changes are :

- Haiti resumed observance of DST in 2017.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2017b-0+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tzdata 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 tzdata, and tzdata-java packages.
