Descriptions
Apache POI before 3.10.1 and 3.11.x before 3.11-beta2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and crash) via a crafted OOXML file, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
Apache POI anterior a 3.10.1 y 3.11.x anterior a 3.11-beta2 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (consumo de CPU y caída) a través de un fichero OOXML manipulado, también conocido como un ataque de expansión de entidad XML (XEE).
It was found that Apache POI would expand an unlimited number of entities in OOXML documents. A remote attacker able to supply OOXML documents that are parsed by Apache POI could use this flaw to trigger a denial of service attack via excessive CPU and memory consumption.
