Mike Beckerle reassigned DAFFODIL-1422:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Mike Beckerle
> disallow doctype decls in all XML & XSD that we read in
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-1422
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1422
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API, Back End, Front End
> Affects Versions: 1.1.0
> Reporter: Mike Beckerle
> Assignee: Mike Beckerle
> Priority: Critical
>
> We should be doing this:
> {code}
> spf.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl";, true)
> {code}
> and simply rejecting things with doctype decls. This would apply to all the
> XML we consume be it a DFDL schema, configuration file, or input data for
> unparsing.
> This is needed because of problems that doctype decls can create where the
> incoming XML can cause the JVM to crash with out-of-memory-errors (OOME).
> See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs for one vulnerability that
> this fixes.
