From ${URL} : It was reported that when an application has Groovy on the classpath and that it uses standard Java serialization mechanim to communicate between servers, or to store local data, it is possible for an attacker to bake a special serialized object that will execute code directly when deserialized. All applications which rely on serialization and do not isolate the code which deserializes objects are subject to this vulnerability. Mitigation: Apply the following patch on the MethodClosure class (src/main/org/codehaus/groovy/runtime/MethodClosure.java): public class MethodClosure extends Closure { + private Object readResolve() { + throw new UnsupportedOperationException(); + } Alternatively, you should make sure to use a custom security policy file (using the standard Java security manager) or make sure that you do not rely on serialization to communicate remotely. External References: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q3/121 @maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.
I've got groovy-2.4.5 baking in my git repo. I'm polishing it up but I will soon push it after Chewi's reviewed it.
commit 52d0cdf (HEAD, master) Author: Patrice Clement <monsieurp@gentoo.org> Date: Sun Nov 1 21:32:31 2015 +0000 dev-java/groovy: Version bump. Fixes security bug 555470. Package-Manager: portage-2.2.20.1 Signed-off-by: Patrice Clement <monsieurp@gentoo.org> create mode 100644 dev-java/groovy/files/groovy-2.4.5-utils.gradle.patch create mode 100644 dev-java/groovy/groovy-2.4.5.ebuild Arch teams Please stabilise: =dev-java/groovy-2.4.5 Target arches: amd64 ppc ppc64 x86 Thank you.
As discussed on irc, arches will CC'ed in the future because there is a depend problem. dev-java/groovy/groovy-2.4.5.ebuild: DEPEND: amd64(default/linux/amd64/13.0) ['>=dev-java/antlr-2.7.7-r7:0']

I was trying to avoid overcomplicating the antlr migration and I will stabilize most of the other revdeps at the same time to avoid conflicts but security takes priority here.
Arch teams, please proceed. James sorted out antlr and friends.
ping! Could someone get the stabilisation process started?
