DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apache CXF, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose system information or
potentially sensitive information and cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to CXF not properly restricting the
processing of XML Document Type Declarations (DTD). This can be
exploited to e.g. determine the existence or include contents of
local and potentially external files by including them as a DTD
reference or cause a DoS due to CPU or memory consumption by
providing e.g. a heavily nested DTD.

The vulnerability has been reported in versions prior to 2.0.13,
2.1.10, and 2.2.9.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.0.13, 2.1.10, or 2.2.9.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
