------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3100-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany September 07, 2022 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Package : libgoogle-gson-java Version : 2.8.5-3+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-25647 Debian Bug : 1010670

It was discovered that Gson, a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representations and vice versa, was vulnerable to a de- serialization flaw. An application would de-serialize untrusted data without sufficiently verifying that the resulting data will be valid, letting the attacker to control the state or the flow of the execution. This can lead to a denial of service or even the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.5-3+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libgoogle-gson-java packages.

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