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 TAR archive an Apache Ant build can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out of memory error, even for small inputs.
