3. Description:

 

Apache Xerces for Java (Xerces-J) is a high performance, standards

compliant, vali[censored] XML parser written in Java. The xerces-j2 packages

provide Xerces-J version 2.

 

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)

 

All xerces-j2 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain a backported patch to correct this issue. Applications using the

Xerces-J must be restarted for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the

Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

 

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
