Description

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

- Previous versions of Apache Flex BlazeDS (4.7.2 and earlier) did not restrict which types were allowed for
AMF(X) object deserialization by default. During the deserialization process code is executed that for
several known types has undesired side-effects. Other, unknown types may also exhibit such behaviors. One
vector in the Java standard library exists that allows an attacker to trigger possibly further exploitable
Java deserialization of untrusted data. Other known vectors in third party libraries can be used to
trigger remote code execution. (CVE-2017-5641)
