    CVE-2016-6814

    Summary: Updated groovy and groovy18 packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: 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).
