Impact The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to terminate the application with a stack overflow error resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream.
Patches XStream 1.4.20 handles the stack overflow and raises an InputManipulationException instead.
Workarounds The only solution is to catch the StackOverflowError in the client code calling XStream.

Credits The vulnerability was discovered and reported by Henry Lin of the Google OSS-Fuzz team.

A flaw was found in the xstream package. This flaw allows an attacker to cause a denial of service by injecting recursive collections or maps, raising a stack overflow.
A flaw was found in the FasterXML/woodstox package. This flaw allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) in its target via XML serialization. An attacker may benefit from the parser sending a malicious input that may cause a crash. This vulnerability is only relevant for users using the DTD parsing functionality.
A vulnerability was found in XStream. Parsing a maliciously crafted file could cause the application to crash.
The processed stream at unmarshalling type contains type information to recreate the formerly written objects. XStream creates therefore new instances based on these type information. The crash occurrs if this information advices XStream to create an instance of the primitive type 'void'. This situation can only happen if an attacker was able to manipulate the incoming data, since such an instance does not exist.

It was found that XStream could deserialize arbitrary user-supplied XML content, representing objects of any type. A remote attacker able to pass XML to XStream could use this flaw to perform a variety of attacks, including remote code execution in the context of the server running the XStream application.
A flaw was found in xstream, a simple library used to serialize objects to XML and back again. This flaw allows a remote attacker to load and execute arbitrary code from a remote host by manipulating the processed input stream. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
A flaw was found in xstream, a simple library used to serialize objects to XML and back again. This flaw allows a remote attacker to request data from internal resources that are not publicly available by manipulating the processed input stream with Java runtime versions 14 to 8. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again. In affected versions this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to allocate 100% CPU time on the target system depending on CPU type or parallel execution of such a payload resulting in a denial of service only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types. XStream 1.4.18 uses no longer a blacklist by default, since it cannot be secured for general purpose.
Impact The vulnerability may allow a remote attacker has sufficient rights to execute commands of the host only by manipulating the processed input stream. No user is affected, who followed the recommendation to setup XStream's security framework with a whitelist limited to the minimal required types.
Patches If you rely on XStream's default blacklist of the Security Framework, you will have to use at least version 1.4.17.
Workarounds See workarounds for the different versions covering all CVEs.
