CVE-2019-12406
Published: Nov 6, 2019
Modified: Aug 4, 2024
PUBLISHED
Description
Apache CXF before 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 does not restrict the number of message attachments present in a given message. This leaves open the possibility of a denial of service type attack, where a malicious user crafts a message containing a very large number of message attachments. From the 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 releases, a default limit of 50 message attachments is enforced. This is configurable via the message property "attachment-max-count".
| Vendor | Product | Versions |
|---|---|---|
n/a | Apache CXF | affected Apache CXF versions before 3.3.4 and 3.2.11 |
