JBossWS vulnerable to uncontrolled recursion
CVE-2011-1483 · GHSA-rj4p-7mm6-gm9j
- Affected
- Maven org.jboss.ws:jbossws-common < 2.1.0.Final
- Fixed in
- 2.1.0.Final· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- DOMUtils.java in org.jboss.ws:jbossws-common does not properly handle recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted request containing an XML document with a DOCTYPE declaration and a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 2.1.0.Final or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
