Debian DLA-2507-1 : libxstream-java security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 144681

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in XStream, a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again.

CVE-2020-26258

XStream is vulnerable to a Server-Side Forgery Request which can be activated when unmarshalling. The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to request data from internal resources that are not publicly available only by manipulating the processed input stream.

CVE-2020-26259

Xstream is vulnerable to an Arbitrary File Deletion on the local host when unmarshalling. The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to delete arbitrary known files on the host as long as the executing process has sufficient rights only by manipulating the processed input stream.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.11.1-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxstream-java packages.

For the detailed security status of libxstream-java please refer to its security tracker page at:

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution
