high Nessus Plugin ID 236777

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-4106 advisory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4106-2 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany April 05, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : jetty9 Version : 9.4.57-0+deb11u2

The security update DLA-4106-1 for jetty9 incorrectly required an unavailable dependency on sysvinit-utils >= 3.05 when installing the jetty9 binary package.
This issue has been addressed by reverting back to requiring only the lsb-base binary package.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 9.4.57-0+deb11u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your jetty9 packages.

For the detailed security status of jetty9 please refer to its security tracker page at:
