Descriptions

The XML parser in Xerces-C++ before 3.0.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an XML schema definition with a large maxOccurs value, which triggers excessive memory consumption during validation of an XML file.

El analizador XML en Xerces-C++ versiones anteriores a 3.0.0, permite a los atacantes dependientes de contexto causar una denegación de servicios (consumo de pila y caída) a través de un esquema de definición XML con un valor largo maxOccurs, el cual lanza un excesivo consumo de memoria durante la validación de un archivo XML.
