Synopsis

Description

The security update of smarty3, the compiling PHP template engine, issued as DLA 2618-1 introduced a regression in the smarty_security class when secure directories are evaluated. Updated smarty3 packages are now available to correct this issue.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.31+20161214.1.c7d42e4+selfpack1-2+deb9u4.

Upgrade the affected smarty3 package.
