NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream batik package and not the batik package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Apache Batik 1.x before 1.10, when deserializing subclass of AbstractDocument, the class takes a string from the inputStream as the class name which then use it to call the no-arg constructor of the class. Fix was to check the class type before calling newInstance in deserialization.
