Advisory:
========================

Updated xmlrpc packages fix security vulnerability:

A flaw was discovered where the XMLRPC client implementation in Apache XMLRPC,
performed deserialization of the server-side exception serialized in the
faultCause attribute of XMLRPC error response messages. A malicious or
compromised XMLRPC server could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of an application using the Apache XMLRPC client
library (CVE-2019-17570).
