Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2017.0119
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0119)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'xstream' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0119 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'xstream' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0119 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability was found in XStream. Parsing a maliciously crafted file
could cause the application to crash. The processed stream at
unmarshalling type contains type information to recreate the formerly
written objects. XStream creates therefore new instances based on these
type information. The crash occurs if this information advices XStream to
create an instance of the primitive type 'void'. This situation can only
happen if an attacker was able to manipulate the incoming data, since such
an instance does not exist (rhbz#1441538).

Affected Software/OS:
'xstream' package(s) on Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.0

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
