openSUSE 16: ant / ant-antlr / ant-apache-bcel / ant-apache-bsf / etc (openSUSE-SU-2026:21891-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 350151

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote openSUSE 16 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2026:21891-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2021-36374: excessive memory allocation when reading a specially crafted ZIP archive or a derived formats (bsc#1188469).
 - CVE-2025-7962: jakarta: improper neutralization of \r and \n UTF-8 characters can lead to SMTP injection (bsc#1246873).
 - CVE-2026-78254: path traversal in ftp and scp tasks allows for arbitrary file writes (bsc#1280015).

 Changes for ant:

 - Upgrade to version 1.10.18
 * Breaking changes:
 + the default value for <ftp>'s useSecureDataChannel has been changed to true which means using ftps now also tries to use an encrypted data channel by default.
 + the <ftp> and <scp> tasks have new allowFilesToEscapeDest attributes. When set to false - which is the default - the tasks will not download files or create directories outside the designated destination directory when downloading from the remote server. In the unlikely case you need the old bahaviour of writing outside the destination directory you must set the value to true explicitly.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
