Version : 0.54.2-1.1+deb8u1
CVE ID : CVE-2016-6296

An issue in xmlrpc-epi, an XML-RPC request serialisation/deserialisation
library, has been found.

An integer signedness error in the simplestring_addn function in
simplestring.c in xmlrpc-epi could be used for a heap based buffer
overflow and possibly execution of arbitrary code.
