Synopsis:          Moderate: xerces-j2 security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2014:1319-1
Issue Date:        2014-09-29
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-4002
--

A resource consumption issue was found in the way Xerces-J handled XML
declarations. A remote attacker could use an XML document with a specially
crafted declaration using a long pseudo-attribute name that, when parsed
by an application using Xerces-J, would cause that application to use an
excessive amount of CPU. (CVE-2013-4002)

Applications using the Xerces-J must be restarted for this update to take
effect.
