Descriptions

Apache CXF before 2.6.14 and 2.7.x before 2.7.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large request with the Content-Type set to text/html to a SOAP endpoint, which triggers an error.

Apache CXF anterior a 2.6.14 y 2.7.x anterior a 2.7.11 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de memoria) a través de una solicitud grande con la configuración Content-Type hacia text/html hacia un endpoint SOAP, lo que provoca un error.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way Apache CXF created error messages for certain POST requests. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request which, when processed by an application using Apache CXF, could consume an excessive amount of memory on the system, possibly triggering an Out Of Memory (OOM) error.
