"The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
openSUSE-SU-2022:0817-1 advisory.
- XStream is an open source java library to serialize objects to XML and back again. Versions prior to
1.4.19 may allow a remote attacker to allocate 100% CPU time on the target system depending on CPU type or
parallel execution of such a payload resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed
input stream. XStream 1.4.19 monitors and accumulates the time it takes to add elements to collections and
throws an exception if a set threshold is exceeded. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as possible.
Users unable to upgrade may set the NO_REFERENCE mode to prevent recursion. See GHSA-rmr5-cpv2-vgjf for
further details on a workaround if an upgrade is not possible. (CVE-2021-43859)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
