Description

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.

Statement

This issue affects the versions of groovy as shipped with Red Hat Satellite 6.0 and 6.1. Red Hat Satellite 6.2 and later do not ship groovy, as such they are not affected by this vulnerability.
