CVE-2020-11979: Injection Vulnerability

October 1, 2020 (updated December 7, 2021)

As mitigation for CVE-2020-1945 Apache Ant changed the permissions of temporary files it created so that only the current user was allowed to access them. Unfortunately, the fixcrlf task deleted the temporary file and created a new one without said protection, effectively nullifying the effort. This would still allow an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.
