Andreas Veithen resolved AXIS2-5879.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

This code is used by the code generator to read the WSDL supplied by the user. 
If the user wishes to process a WSDL with external entities, then we should 
just do that. There is no security risk here.

> WSDL20ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:1235 & 1255 (XML External Entity Injection)

>             Project: Axis2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: kernel
>    Affects Versions: 1.7.6

> XML parser configured in WSDL20ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:1235 and 1255 does 
> not prevent nor limit external entities resolution. This can expose the 
> parser to an XML External Entities attack.
> Proposed solution: Always disable external entities:
> {code:java}
>       public static DocumentBuilderFactory createDocumentBuilderFactory() {
>               DocumentBuilderFactory factory = 
> DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
>               factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
>                       try {
>                               
> factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities";, 
> false);
>                               
> factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities";, 
> false);
>                       }
>                       catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
>                               throw new IllegalStateException(e);
>                       }
>               return factory;
>       }
> {code}
