It was discovered that there was a potential arbitrary code execution vulnerability in velocity, a Java-based template engine for writing web applications. It could be exploited by applications which allowed untrusted users to upload/modify templates.
For Debian 9 ‘Stretch’, this problem has been fixed in version 1.7-5+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your velocity packages.
For the detailed security status of velocity please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/velocity
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.
