high Nessus Plugin ID 120958

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

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

- Qyzylorda, Kazakhstan moved from +06 to +05 on 2018-12-21. A new zone Asia/Qostanay has been added, because Qostanay, Kazakhstan didn't move.

- Metlakatla, Alaska observes PST this winter only.

- São Tomé and Príncipe switched from +01 to +00 on 2019-01-01.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2018i-0+deb8u1.

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.
