Debian DLA-1957-1 : tzdata new upstream version

high Nessus Plugin ID 129853

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

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

- Brazil has canceled DST and will stay on standard time indefinitely.

- Fiji's next DST transitions will be 2019-11-10 and 2020-01-12 instead of 2019-11-03 and 2020-01-19.

- Norfolk Island will observe Australian-style DST starting in spring 2019. The first transition is on 2019-10-06.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2019c-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.
