NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tika package and not the tika package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
Apache Tika before 1.13 does not properly initialize the XML parser or choose handlers, which might allow remote attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via vectors involving (1) spreadsheets in OOXML files and (2) XMP metadata in PDF and other file formats, a related issue to CVE-2016-2175.
