NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream activemq package and not the activemq package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

When processing user provided XML documents, the Spring Framework 4.0.0 to 4.0.4, 3.0.0 to 3.2.8, and possibly earlier unsupported versions did not disable by default the resolution of URI references in a DTD declaration. This enabled an XXE attack.
