Descriptions

nio/XMLLightweightParser.java in Ignite Realtime Openfire before 3.9.2 does not properly restrict the processing of compressed XML elements, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted XMPP stream, aka an "xmppbomb" attack.

El archivo nio/XMLLightweightParser.java en Ignite Realtime Openfire anterior a versión 3.9.2, no restringe apropiadamente el procesamiento de elementos XML comprimidos, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de recursos) por medio de una secuencia XMPP diseñada, también conocido como ataque "xmppbomb" .

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Openfire, the worst of which could lead to a Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 3.9.2-r1 are affected.
