dbunuit v2.5.3 has dependencies:

  • org.apache.poi:poi v3.14 (optional)
  • org.apache.poi: poi-ooxml v3.1.4

Update to v3.1.6 to address CVE-2017-5644... although v3.1.5 would also address the threat:

Apache POI in versions prior to release 3.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a specially crafted OOXML file, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.

    When it comes to release notes, the fix to this issue used org.apache.poi: poi-ooxml v3.1.7.

    As it happens, this has the happy outcome of also addresing a separate(newer) threat CVE-2017-12626 that was first published 01/29/2018.
