high Nessus Plugin ID 124656

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The minified jquery library was broken in version 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2+deb8u6 due to an error during the build. This problem has now been fixed in version 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2+deb8u7

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2+deb8u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your jquery 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 libjs-jquery package.
