referenced in the RHSA-2017:2596 advisory.

    Groovy is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, built upon Java with features
    inspired by languages like Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. It seamlessly integrates with all existing Java
    objects and libraries and compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere you can use Java.

    Security Fix(es):

    * Multiple object deserialization flaws were discovered in the MethodClosure class in Groovy. A specially
    crafted serialized object deserialized by an application using the Groovy library could cause the
    application to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-3253, CVE-2016-6814)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
