Debian DLA-92-1 : tomcat-native security followup update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82237

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

This is an upgrade from tomcat-native 1.1.20 (the version previously available in squeeze) to 1.1.31, the full list of changes between these versions can be seen in the upstream changelog, which is available online at http://tomcat.apache.org/native-doc/miscellaneous/changelog.html

This update itself fixes no security issues but is needed for libtcnative-1 users as version 1.1.20 from Squeeze does not work with tomcat6 6.0.41 from Squeeze LTS.

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 libtcnative-1 package.
