Descriptions

The streaming XML parser in Apache CXF 2.5.x before 2.5.10, 2.6.x before 2.6.7, and 2.7.x before 2.7.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via crafted XML with a large number of (1) elements, (2) attributes, (3) nested constructs, and possibly other vectors.

El analizador de secuencias XML en Apache CXF versiones 2.5.x anteriores a 2.5.10, versiones 2.6.x anteriores a 2.6.7 y versiones 2.7.x anteriores a 2.7.4, permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de CPU y memoria) por medio de XML diseñado con un gran número de (1) elementos, (2) atributos, (3) construcciones anidadas y posiblemente otros vectores.
