This asynchronous patch is a security update for slf4j package in Red Hat
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.4.

Security Fix(es):

* An XML deserialization vulnerability was discovered in slf4j's EventData
which accepts xml serialized string and can lead to arbitrary code
execution. (CVE-2018-8088)

The Simple Logging Facade for Java or (SLF4J) is a simple facade for
various logging APIs allowing the end-user to plug in the desired
implementation at deployment time. SLF4J also allows for a gradual
migration path away from Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL).
