Bug#700610: bsh (BeanShell) security vulnerability (CVE-2016-2510)

[Thomas Uhle]

Dear maintainers,

there was published a new release of BeanShell 14 months ago. You can find 
the sources of version 2.1.0 on GitHub at

https://github.com/beanshell/beanshell/releases/tag/2.1.0

The new version has not been published on Maven though (where versions 
from 2.0b4 to 2.0b6 are still the newest releases), but this is explained 
on GitHub at https://github.com/beanshell/beanshell/issues/603 .
Anyway, version 2.1.0 is an official release linked from 
https://www.beanshell.org/download.html and there is also stated that 
version 2.0b4 is now merely a legacy release.

What do you think, wouldn't it be time for an update in Debian?

Best regards,

Thomas Uhle
