> Update ANT to fix:
> CVE-2020-1945: Apache Ant insecure temporary file vulnerability
> Severity: Medium
> Vendor:
> The Apache Software Foundation
> Versions Affected:
> Apache Ant 1.1 to 1.9.14 and 1.10.0 to 1.10.7
> Description:
> Apache Ant uses the default temporary directory identified by the Java
> system property java.io.tmpdir for several tasks and may thus leak
> sensitive information. The fixcrlf and replaceregexp tasks also copy
> files from the temporary directory back into the build tree allowing an
> attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.
> Mitigation:
> Ant users of versions 1.1 to 1.9.14 and 1.10.0 to 1.10.7 should set the
> java.io.tmpdir system property to point to a directory only readable and
> writable by the current user prior to running Ant.
> Users of versions 1.9.15 and 1.10.8 can use the Ant property ant.tmpfile
> instead. Users of Ant 1.10.8 can rely on Ant protecting the temporary
> files if the underlying filesystem allows it, but we still recommend
> using a private temporary directory instead.
> Credit:
> This issue was discovered by Mike Salvatore of the Ubuntu Security Team.
