Xerces2 is the next generation of high performance, fully compliant XML parsers in the
Apache Xerces family. This new version of Xerces introduces the Xerces Native Interface (XNI),
a complete framework for building parser components and configurations that is extremely
modular and easy to program.
Apache Xerces2 Java Parser before 2.12.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted message to an XML service, which triggers hash table collisions.
:heavy_check_mark: This issue was automatically closed by Mend because the vulnerable library in the specific branch(es) was either marked as ignored or it is no longer part of the Mend inventory.
