Steenbrink's conjecture on Du Bois divisors

Let XX be a variety, let DXD\subset X be a reduced Cartier divisor, and let xDx\in D. Assume that DD has only Du Bois singularities in a neighborhood of xx. Steenbrink's conjecture. Then XX has only Du Bois singularities in a neighborhood of xx. This is presented as the deformation question for Du Bois singularities and is attributed to Steenbrink; the source explains that the statement would imply the corresponding deformation result, while a weaker version with an additional hypothesis on XDX\setminus D is the best known result given there.
