NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xerces-j2-scripts package and not the xerces-j2-scripts package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apache Xerces2 Java Parser before 2.12.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted message to an XML service, which triggers hash table collisions.
