                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Important: groovy security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2017:2486-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:2486
Issue date:        2017-08-17
CVE Names:         CVE-2016-6814 
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for groovy is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client Optional (v. 7) - noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional (v. 7) - noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7) - noarch
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 7) - noarch

3. Description:

Groovy is an agile and dynamic language for the Java Virtual Machine, built
upon Java with features inspired by languages like Python, Ruby, and
Smalltalk. It seamlessly integrates with all existing Java objects and
libraries and compiles straight to Java bytecode so you can use it anywhere
you can use Java.

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that a flaw in Apache groovy library allows remote code
execution wherever deserialization occurs in the application. It is
possible for an attacker to craft a special serialized object that will
execute code directly when deserialized. All applications which rely on
serialization and do not isolate the code which deserializes objects are
subject to this vulnerability. (CVE-2016-6814)
