Updated groovy18 packages fix security vulnerability

Publication date: 07 Sep 2017
Modification date: 07 Sep 2017
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 6
CVE: CVE-2015-3253

Description

When an application has Groovy on the classpath and that it uses
standard Java serialization mechanism to communicate between servers, or
to store local data, it is possible for an attacker to bake 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-2015-3253).
