Description Samuel Damashek (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-01-10 00:15:50 UTC
Malicious XML, when deserialized using XStream, can execute arbitrary code because the program runs the XML code specified without first verifying the type.
Comment 2 Joerg Schaible 2015-03-06 22:50:36 UTC
xstream 1.4.7 and 1.4.8 contains the fix

 create mode 100644 dev-java/xstream/xstream-1.4.8.ebuild

I needed it to bump groovy to its lastest iteration.

Arch teams

Please stabilise:
=dev-java/xstream-1.4.8

Target arches:
amd64 ppc ppc64 x86

Thank you!
Comment 4 Patrice Clement gentoo-dev 2015-11-01 13:35:57 UTC
There was a bug with xstream-1.4.8: this package does need Java 8, meaning at least a {jdk,jre} version >= 1.8.

As a result, please stabilise:
=dev-java/xstream-1.4.8-r1

Target arches:
amd64 x86 (we don't support Java 8 on ppc+ppc64.. yet).

Thank you.
Comment 5 Patrice Clement gentoo-dev 2015-11-04 10:39:23 UTC
This will have to wait until virtual/{jre,jdk}-1.8 is marked stable. James is working at it. Please bear with us.
Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2015-11-04 10:44:12 UTC
CC back arches when 547912 is resolved.
Comment 7 James Le Cuirot gentoo-dev 2016-05-17 21:51:14 UTC
Java 8 is stable now. Go forth, monsieurp!
Comment 8 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-05-19 07:41:21 UTC
amd64 stable
Comment 9 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-05-19 07:42:35 UTC
x86 stable.

Maintainer(s), please cleanup.
Security, please add it to the existing request, or file a new one.
