NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream wildfly package and not the wildfly package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Neethi does not properly detect circular references in policy definitions. When a WS-Policy document contains circular policy references (where Policy A references Policy B which references Policy A), the policy normalization process can enter an infinite loop or cause excessive recursion, leading to a stack overflow or application hang. An attacker can craft malicious policy documents with circular references to cause a Denial of Service condition

Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.2, which fixes this issue.
