NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream eap7-ironjacamar-validator package and not the eap7-ironjacamar-validator package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in EAP-7 during deserialization of certain classes, which permits instantiation of HashMap and HashTable with no checks on resources consumed. This issue could allow an attacker to submit malicious requests using these classes, which could eventually exhaust the heap and result in a Denial of Service.
