Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in Apache Xerces-C++ before 3.1.4 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a deeply nested DTD.
A stack exhaustion flaw was found in the way Xerces-C XML parser handled deeply nested DTDs. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash an application using Xerces-C by tricking it into processing specially crafted data.
