NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-maven36-ant.src package and not the rh-maven36-ant.src package as distributed by RHEL.

When reading a specially crafted TAR archive an Apache Ant build can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out of memory error, even for small inputs. This can be used to disrupt builds using Apache Ant. Apache Ant prior to 1.9.16 and 1.10.11 were affected.
