Debian 8: DLA-2078-1 Critical: libxmlrpc3-java Arbitrary Code Execution

An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code. . Package : libxmlrpc3-java Version : 3.1.3-7+deb8u1 CVE ID : CVE-2019-17570 Debian Bug : 949089 An untrusted deserialization was found in the org.apache.xmlrpc.parser.XmlRpcResponseParser:addResult method of Apache XML-RPC (aka ws-xmlrpc) library. A malicious XML-RPC server could target a XML-RPC client causing it to execute arbitrary code. Clients that expect to get server-side exceptions need to set the enabledForExceptions property to true in order to process serialized exception messages again. For Debian 8 "Jessie", this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.3-7+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your libxmlrpc3-java packages.
