Descriptions

HSLFSlideShow in Apache POI before 3.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and deadlock) via a crafted PPT file.

HSLFSlideShow en Apache POI anterior a 3.11 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito y bloqueo) a través de un fichero PPT manipulado.

A denial of service flaw was found in the way the HSLFSlideShow class implementation in Apache POI handled certain PPT files. A remote attacker could submit a specially crafted PPT file that would cause Apache POI to hang indefinitely.
