NVD Description

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

Apache Xerces-C++ allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted message sent to an XML service that causes hash table collisions.
