Description Tomas Hoger 2015-10-20 16:32:28 EDT
It was discovered that the JAXP component of OpenJDK did not use efficient data structures to store data from parsed XML documents.  A specially-crafted XML input could cause a Java application using JAXP to use an excessive amount of CPU time by e.g. triggering hash collisions.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2015-10-21 04:55:17 EDT
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - October 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91, and 8u65.

While this issue affects the JAXP libraries used by EAP, it's possible to override them with the patched ones from the JDK using the instructions in this article:

Comment 17 Jason Shepherd 2016-01-13 23:21:48 EST
Closed the EAP trackers as won't fix because the issue was ranked as moderate and there is a workaround. The workaround is to use your own JAXP libraries by packaging them with your application.
