CVE-2018-8013: Deserialization of Untrusted Data

May 13, 2022 (updated June 29, 2022)

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.
