How to fix?

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wss4j package and not the wss4j package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache WSS4J before 1.6.17 and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 improperly leaks information about decryption failures when decrypting an encrypted key or message data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to recover the plaintext form of a symmetric key via a series of crafted messages. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2487.
