Debian: DSA-4149-1 Critical: Plexus-Utils2 Command Execution Risk

Charles Duffy discovered that the Commandline class in the utilities for
the Plexus framework performs insufficient quoting of double-encoded
strings, which could result in the execution of arbitrary shell commands.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed
in version 3.0.15-1+deb8u1.

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been prior to
the initial release.

We recommend that you upgrade your plexus-utils2 packages.
