"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.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version
0.54.2-1.1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your xmlrpc-epi packages.

block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues.");
