+ <background>
+ <p>XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>It was found that XStream would deserialize arbitrary user-supplied XML
+ content, thus representing objects of any type.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All XStream users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-java/xstream-1.4.8-r1"
+ </code>
