Severity: moderate Affected versions:
- Apache Neethi (org.apache.neethi:neethi) before 3.2.4 Description: A small WS-Policy document using repeated policy references can force Neethi to re-expand the same references exponentially during normalization, consuming huge amounts of CPU and memory (denial of service). Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue.
