CVE-2014-0086: Input Validation
First published: Thu Feb 20 2014(Updated: )
It was found that certain malformed requests caused RichFaces to leak memory. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to send a large number of malformed requests to a RichFaces application that uses the Atmosphere framework, leading to a denial of service (excessive memory consumption) on the application server.
