wsf/common/DOMUtils.java in JBossWS Native in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 4.2.0.CP09, 4.3, and 5.1.1; JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 4.3.CP06 and 5.1.1; JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2.CP05, 4.3.CP05, and 5.1.0; JBoss Communications Platform 1.2.11 and 5.1.1; JBoss Enterprise BRMS Platform 5.1.0; and JBoss Enterprise Web Platform 5.1.1 does not properly handle recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted request containing an XML document with a DOCTYPE declaration and a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service flaw in older Red Hat JBoss products using JBossWS Native. A remote attacker could send specially formed XML that forces excessive recursion during entity expansion, consuming CPU and memory and potentially disrupting affected services. Exposure is most likely in legacy JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Portal, SOA, Communications, BRMS, or Web Platform deployments that still run the listed versions and accept untrusted XML or SOAP-style requests. Treat this as a legacy-platform availability risk. It is not KEV-listed in the provided evidence, but affected internet-facing or partner-facing services could be disrupted and should be prioritized for upgrade or isolation. Mitigation focus: Check Red Hat and HP advisories for fixed packages or supported upgrade paths.; Prioritize retirement or isolation of the listed legacy JBoss versions.; Restrict untrusted access to XML-processing service endpoints where feasible..
