Debian DLA-2099-1 : checkstyle security update

medium Nessus Plugin ID 133654

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Security researchers from Snyk discovered that the fix for CVE-2019-9658 was incomplete. Checkstyle, a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard, was still vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 5.9-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your checkstyle 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 checkstyle, and checkstyle-doc packages.
