    Summary: Updated xstream packages fix CVE-2016-3674

    Details: Updated xstream packages fix security vulnerability: XStream (x-stream.github.io) is a Java library to marshal Java objects into XML and back.

An attacker could therefore provide manipulated XML as input to access data on the file system (CVE-2016-3674).
