Summary
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libxstream-java' package(s) announced via the DLA-2704-1 advisory.
Insight
Insight
A vulnerability in XStream, a Java library to serialize objects to and from XML, may allow a remote attacker to execute commands of the host only by manipulating the processed input stream. Note: the XStream project recommends to setup its security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types, rather than relying on the black list (which got updated to address this vulnerability). The project is also phasing out maintenance of the black list, see [link moved to references].
