It was discovered that XStream, a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again, was susceptible to XML External Entity attacks.

For Debian 7 โ€˜Wheezyโ€™, these problems have been fixed in version 1.4.2-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxstream-java packages.

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.
