Description Tomas Hoger 2015-10-20 20:38:44 UTC 
It was discovered that the JAXP component of OpenJDK did not enforce the maximum XML name limit (jdk.xml.MaxXMLNameLimit) when parsing XML files.  A specially crafted XML document could cause a Java application using JAXP to consume an excessive amount of memory and CPU time when parsed.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2015-10-21 08:55:33 UTC 
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - October 2015.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u105, 7u91, and 8u65.

override them with the patched ones from the JDK using the instructions

Comment 17 Jason Shepherd 2016-01-14 04:21:59 UTC 
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.
