NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream castor package and not the castor package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The default configuration for the Xerces SAX Parser in Castor before 1.3.3 allows context-dependent attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted XML document.
