Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-06 22:45:08 UTC 
CVE-2009-2625 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-2625):
  Apache Xerces2 Java, as used in Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in
  JDK and JRE 6 before Update 15 and JDK and JRE 5.0 before Update 20,
  and in other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (infinite loop and application hang) via malformed XML input,
  as demonstrated by the Codenomicon XML fuzzing framework.
