Backport fix for arbitrary file write vulnerability

Summary

Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool whose mission is to

drive processes described in build files as targets and extension

points dependent upon each other. The main known usage of Ant is the

build of Java applications. Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks

allowing to compile, assemble, test and run Java applications. Ant

can also be used effectively to build non Java applications, for

instance C or C++ applications. More generally, Ant can be used to

pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets

and tasks.
