A flaw was found in the Apache Xerces Java (XercesJ) XML parser when handling specially crafted XML document payloads. This issue causes the XercesJ XML parser to wait in an infinite loop, which may consume system resources for a prolonged duration, leading to a denial of service condition.
Apache Ant is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-memory error when large amounts of memory are allocated. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted ZIP archive, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
