Tracker summary

CVE-2018-11796 severity moderate: SUSE including 1 source package names (tika-core), 2 product×package rows across 2 product lines (SUSE Manager Server 3.2, SUSE Manager Server Module 4.0): Known Not Affected 2.

Description:

In Apache Tika 1.19 (CVE-2018-11761), 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.
