Description Tomas Hoger 2016-04-18 09:46:23 UTC 
It was discovered that the JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) component of OpenJDK failed to properly handle Unicode surrogate pairs used as part of the XML attribute values.  A specially-crafted XML input could cause a Java application to use an excessive amount of memory when parsed.
Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2016-04-19 20:59:48 UTC 
Public now via Oracle Critical Patch Update - April 2016.  Fixed in Oracle Java SE 6u115, 7u101, and 8u91.
