Description Stefan Cornelius 2012-06-06 14:51:53 UTC 
A flaw was found in the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) XML parser.  An attacker able to make a Java application parse a specially-crafted XML file could use this flaw to make the XML parser to enter an infinite loop.

This issue was fixed by Xerces upstream via:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=319059
