Synopsis: Moderate: xerces-j2 security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2014:1319-1
Issue Date: 2014-09-29
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4002
—
A resource consumption issue was found in the way Xerces-J handled XML
declarations. A remote attacker could use an XML document with a specially
crafted declaration using a long pseudo-attribute name that, when parsed
by an application using Xerces-J, would cause that application to use an
excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2013-4002)
Applications using the Xerces-J must be restarted for this update to take
effect.
