  <title>Groovy: Arbitrary code execution</title>
  <synopsis>Groovy is vulnerable to a remote execution of arbitrary code when
    java serialization is used.

  <affected>
    <package name="dev-java/groovy" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">2.4.5</unaffected>

  <description>
    <p>Groovy’s MethodClosure class, in runtime/MethodClosure.java, is
      vulnerable to a crafted serialized object.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>Remote attackers could potentially execute arbitrary code, or cause
      Denial of Service condition
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>A workaround exists by using a custom security policy file utilizing the
      standard Java security manager, or do not rely on serialization to
      communicate remotely.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All Groovy users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-java/groovy-2.4.5"
    </code>
  </resolution>
