DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apache CXF, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due SOAP requests with a SOAP Action
string in the header being insufficiently validated with body's data
and can be exploited to perform an otherwise restricted action.

Successful exploitation requires the target action to accept same
parameter types as the header action and pass WS-Policy validation.

The vulnerability is reported in all versions.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.4.9, 2.5.5, or 2.6.2.

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