Affected packages
• Maven org.apache.santuario:xmlsec: >= 1.4.0, < 1.4.8 → fixed in 1.4.8
• Maven org.apache.santuario:xmlsec: >= 1.5.0, < 1.5.3 → fixed in 1.5.3
Description
Affected versions of xmlsec are subject to a denial of service vulnerability. Should a user check the signature of a message larger than 512 MB, the method `expandSize(int newPos)` of class `org.apache.xml.security.utils.UnsyncByteArrayOutputStream` goes in an endless loop. A remote attacker could use this flaw to supply crafted XML that would lead to a denial of service.
