  The XML4J parser (...) is vulnerable to a denial of service attack, triggered
  by a specially crafted XML document. The specially crafted XML document causes
  the XML parser to run out of memory when the security feature to control the
  processing of a document with a large number of entities that need to be
  expanded is enabled.
