Synopsis:	Moderate: xerces-j2 security update
Issue date:	2009-11-30
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-2625

CVE-2009-2625 OpenJDK: XML parsing Denial-Of-Service (6845701)

A flaw was found in the way the Apache Xerces2 Java Parser processed the
SYSTEM identifier in DTDs. A remote attacker could provide a
specially-crafted XML file, which once parsed by an application using 
the Apache Xerces2 Java Parser, would lead to a denial of service 
(application hang due to excessive CPU use). (CVE-2009-2625)

Applications using the Apache Xerces2 Java Parser must be restarted for 
this update to take effect.

SL 5.x
