>Description:
A serious vulnerability affecting all the current Java ports allows any potential attacker to take control of the machine remotely if it uses a Java application dealing with the XML parser.

The issue has been there for months, and has been fixed since Java 6 update 15 and Java 5 update 20. So simply updating the port would solve the issue.

This vulnerability affects, for instance, all the Freenet nodes running under FreeBSD :
