Description

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

 - XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this
 vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host only by
 manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup
 XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. XStream 1.4.18 uses
 no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose. (CVE-2021-39145)
