  This advisory announces a couple of critical security vulnerabilities
  that were found in Jenkins core.
  
  The first vulnerability is a directory traversal vulnerability. This
  allows an anonymous attacker to read files in the file system that
  shouldn't be exposed. This vulnerability affects Jenkins that run on
  Windows, whether or not the access control in Jenkins is enabled. Those
  file reads are still subject to OS-level access control, and therefore
  an attacker will only gain access to files that are readable to the OS
  user that runs the Jenkins process. This is a vulnerability in the
  built-in servlet container (named Winstone), and therefore the only
  affected users are those who are running Jenkins via java -jar
  jenkins.war (this includes users of the Windows installer.) This
  vulnerability affects all versions of Jenkins up to and including 1.452,
  and LTS releases up to and including 1.424.3.
  
  The second vulnerability is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability,
  which allows an attacker to inject malicious HTMLs to pages served by
  Jenkins. This allows an attacker to escalate his privileges by hijacking
  sessions of other users. This vulnerability affects all versions of
  Jenkins up to and including 1.452, and LTS releases up to and including
  1.424.3, regardless of the security settings.
  
  As Ubuntu is not windows we are only impacted by the second XSS
  vulnerability.
  
- This will require a new package: owasp-java-html-sanitizer (I've started
- on the packaging).
+ This will require a new package: owasp-java-html-sanitizer and a bump to
+ the latest LTS release (1.424.6) to pickup the required HTML
+ sanitization policies.
