Description Arun Babu Neelicattu 2014-05-02 01:40:15 UTC
If content is posted to a SOAP endpoint with Content-Type text/html, CXF
creates an error message based on the input. This could potentially cause a
Out Of Memory (OOM) error on a large input, leading to a possible Denial of
Service attack.

Affected versions:
Apach CXF 2.6.x < 2.6.14
Apach CXF 2.7.x < 2.7.11
