Re: CVE-Request: Assign CVE for common-collections remote code execution on deserialisation flaw

The patch[1] attached to that JIRA report would disable serialization by
default. Any application that needs it would require a code change to
re-enable it. This would break existing applications.

Right... so that's still speculation.  Speculation that apps actually
need to serialize objects of those particular classes.  There may very
well be applications that do that, but I just want to be sure we're
not overstating the downsides.
