How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable lucene-solr to version 3.6.2+dfsg-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lucene-solr package and not the lucene-solr package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler in Apache Solr before 4.3.1 does not properly use the EmptyEntityResolver, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via XML data containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2013-6407.
