Doc Text:
A denial of service flaw was found in the way Apache CXF created error messages for certain POST requests. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request which, when processed by an application using Apache CXF, could consume an excessive amount of memory on the system, possibly triggering an Out Of Memory (OOM) error.

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
