Comment 2 David Walser 2019-02-03 21:36:45 CET

Advisory:
========================

Updated logback packages fix security vulnerability:

It was found that logback is vulnerable to a deserialization issue. Logback can
be configured to allow remote logging through SocketServer/ServerSocketReceiver
interfaces that can accept untrusted serialized data. Authenticated attackers
on the adjacent network can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
code through deserialization of custom gadget chains (CVE-2017-5929).

MGA6-32 MATE on IBM Thinkpad R50e
No installation issues.
Installed cleanly, chased around to find some easy example, but this seems to be a java library which requires some additional code and configuration file to get anything working.
I propose to OK on clean install unless someone has a better idea.
