Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - The authenticated-encryption feature in the symmetric-encryption implementation in the OWASP Enterprise
 Security API (ESAPI) for Java 2.x before 2.1.0.1 does not properly resist tampering with serialized
