How to fix?

Upgrade org.apache.ant:ant to version 1.9.16, 1.10.11 or higher.

Overview

org.apache.ant:ant is a software tool for automating software build processes which originated from the Apache Tomcat project in early 2000.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). When reading a specially crafted ZIP archive, or a derived format, an Apache Ant build can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that leads to an out of memory error, even for small inputs. This can be used to disrupt builds using Apache Ant. Commonly used derived formats of ZIP archives include JAR files.
