Bug description:
  [impact]

  XStream through 1.4.9, when a certain denyTypes workaround is not used,
  mishandles attempts to create an instance of the primitive type 'void'
  during unmarshalling, leading to a remote application crash, as
  demonstrated by an xstream.fromXML("<void/>") call.

  [test case]

  self-test for failure is provided as part of the upstream commit

  [regression potential]

  regressions could include failing to parse the stream.
