Descriptions

Apache CXF before 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 does not restrict the number of message attachments present in a given message. This leaves open the possibility of a denial of service type attack, where a malicious user crafts a message containing a very large number of message attachments. From the 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 releases, a default limit of 50 message attachments is enforced. This is configurable via the message property "attachment-max-count".

Apache CXF versiones anteriores a la versión 3.3.4 y 3.2.11, no restringe el número de archivos adjuntos presentes en un mensaje dado. Esto deja abierta la posibilidad de un ataque de tipo denegación de servicio, en el que un usuario malicioso crea un mensaje que contiene una gran cantidad de archivos adjuntos. Desde las versiones 3.3.4 y 3.2.11, se aplica un límite predeterminado de 50 archivos adjuntos de mensajes. Esto es configurable por medio de la propiedad de mensaje "attach-max-count".
