Synopsis
========
A vulnerability in XStream may allow remote attackers to execute
arbitrary code.
Background
==========
XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 dev-java/xstream < 1.4.8-r1 >= 1.4.8-r1
Description
===========
It was found that XStream would deserialize arbitrary user-supplied XML
content, thus representing objects of any type.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could pass a specially crafted XML document to
XStream, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All XStream users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-java/xstream-1.4.8-r1"
References
==========
