Debian DLA-1323-1 : tzdata security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 108693

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

This update includes the changes in tzdata 2018d. Notable changes are :

- Palestine started Daylight Saving Time (DST) on March 24, rather than on March 31st.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2018d-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.
