Severity: moderate Affected versions:
- Apache Neethi (org.apache.neethi:neethi) before 3.2.4 Description: A specially crafted WS-Policy document with deeply nested policy elements can bypass Neethi's nesting-depth limit and exhaust the thread stack, crashing the parser (denial of service). Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue.
