    CVE-2013-2160

    Summary: Updated cxf, wss4j, and jacorb packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: Multiple denial of service flaws were found in the way StAX parser implementation of Apache CXF, an open-source web services framework, performed processing of certain XML files. If a web service application utilized the services of the StAX parser, a remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted XML file that, when processed by the application would lead to excessive system resources (CPU cycles, memory) consumption by that application (CVE-2013-2160).
