The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5004 advisory.

  - XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16,     there is vulnerability which may allow a remote attacker to allocate 100% CPU time on the target system     depending on CPU type or parallel execution of such a payload resulting in a denial of service only by     manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected who followed the recommendation to setup     XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. If you rely on     XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.16.
    (CVE-2021-21341)

  - XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16,     there is a vulnerability where the processed stream at unmarshalling time contains type information to     recreate the formerly written objects. XStream creates therefore new instances based on these type     information. An attacker can manipulate the processed input stream and replace or inject objects, that     result in a server-side forgery request. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup     XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. If you rely on     XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.16.

    (CVE-2021-21343)

  - XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16,     there is a vulnerability which may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a     remote host only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the     recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required     types. If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least     version 1.4.16. (CVE-2021-21344, CVE-2021-21346, CVE-2021-21347)

  - XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16,     there is a vulnerability which may allow a remote attacker who has sufficient rights to execute commands     of the host only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the     recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required     types. If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least     version 1.4.16. (CVE-2021-21345)

  - XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16,     there is a vulnerability which may allow a remote attacker to occupy a thread that consumes maximum CPU     time and will never return. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's     security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. If you rely on XStream's     default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.16.
    (CVE-2021-21348)

  - XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16,     there is a vulnerability which may allow a remote attacker to request data from internal resources that     are not publicly available only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who     followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal     required types. If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use     at least version 1.4.16. (CVE-2021-21349)

    (CVE-2021-21350)

  - XStream is a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In XStream before version 1.4.16,     there is a vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host     only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to     setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. If you rely on     XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.16.
    (CVE-2021-21351)

  - XStream is software for serializing Java objects to XML and back again. A vulnerability in XStream     versions prior to 1.4.17 may allow a remote attacker has sufficient rights to execute commands of the host     only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user who followed the recommendation to setup     XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types is affected. The     vulnerability is patched in version 1.4.17. (CVE-2021-29505)

  - XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this     vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host only by     manipulating the processed input stream. A user is only affected if using the version out of the box with     JDK 1.7u21 or below. However, this scenario can be adjusted easily to an external Xalan that works     regardless of the version of the Java runtime. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to     setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. XStream 1.4.18     uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose. (CVE-2021-39139)

  - XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this     vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to request data from internal resources that are not publicly     available only by manipulating the processed input stream with a Java runtime version 14 to 8. No user is     affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited     to the minimal required types. If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the [Security     Framework](https://x-stream.github.io/security.html#framework), you will have to use at least version     1.4.18.

  - XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this     vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host only by     manipulating the processed input stream, if using the version out of the box with Java runtime version 14     to 8 or with JavaFX installed. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's     security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a     blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose. (CVE-2021-39153)
