It was discovered that there was a remote application crash vulnerability in libxstream-java, a Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. This was due to mishandled attempts to create an instance of the primitive type โ€˜voidโ€™ during unmarshalling.

For Debian 7 โ€˜Wheezyโ€™, this issue has been fixed in libxstream-java version 1.4.2-1+deb7u2.

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.
