CVE-2018-11796 -- libtika-javaID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:1900684 | Date: (C)2019-03-29 (M)2023-12-20 |
Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: unix |
In Apache Tika 1.19 , we added an entity expansion limit for XML parsing. However, Tika reuses SAXParsers and calls reset after each parse, which, for Xerces2 parsers, as per the documentation, removes the user-specified SecurityManager and thus removes entity expansion limits after the first parse. Apache Tika versions from 0.1 to 1.19 are therefore still vulnerable to entity expansions which can lead to a denial of service attack. Users should upgrade to 1.19.1 or later.
