Descriptions

The XML parsing code in Sun Java Runtime Environment JDK and JRE 6 Update 3 and earlier processes external entity references even when the "external general entities" property is false, which allows remote attackers to conduct XML external entity (XXE) attacks and cause a denial of service or access restricted resources.

Procesa referencias a entidades externas incluso cuando la propiedad "external general entities (entidades generales externas)" es falsa, lo que permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de entidades externas XML (XXE) y provocar una denegación de servicio o acceso restringido a recursos.
