Apache Neethi: Crafted policies cause unbounded work during intersection leading to denial of service
A specially crafted pair of WS-Policy documents can force Neethi's policy-intersection to do exponential amounts of work, pinning the CPU for a long time (denial of service). Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, which fixes this issue.

Apache Neethi: Crafted policy references cause exponential expansion during normalization leading to denial of service
A small WS-Policy document using repeated policy references can force Neethi to re-expand the same references exponentially during normalization, consuming huge amounts of CPU and memory (denial of service). Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.4, …

Apache Neethi: Crafted WS-Policy documents bypass element/attribute limits causing memory exhaustion
A specially crafted WS-Policy document can pack unlimited content inside a policy assertion, which Neethi copies into memory without counting it against its size limits, exhausting the heap (denial of service). Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.…

Apache Neethi: Uncontrolled recursion while parsing crafted WS-Policy documents allows denial of service
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.

Apache Neethi: Remote PolicyReference fetch lacks resource bounds
Although remote policy references are not retrieved during policy normalization, if they are manually retrieved via the API it can cause a denial of service attack if a huge policy is retrieved. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.3, which fixes t…

Apache Neethi: Missing global alternative-output budget across policy computation paths
It is possible to bypass the maximum number of normalized policy alternatives that was introduced in Apache Neethi 3.2.2 via certain crafted policies, which may lead to a denial of service attack via resource consumption. Users are recommended to upgrade to v…

Apache Neethi: Uncontrolled recursion in policy processing
Apache Neethi is vulnerable to uncontrolled recursion when parsing policies that lack policy Ids or with deeply nested structures, which may lead to a denial of service attack when parsing policies due to runtime memory exhaustion. Users are recommended to up…

Apache Neethi: Policy Normalization Unbounded Resource Allocation DoS
Apache Neethi is vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack through algorithmic complexity in policy normalization. Specially crafted WS-Policy documents can trigger an exponential Cartesian cross-product expansion during the normalization process, causing unbo…

Apache Neethi: Circular Policy Reference Infinite Loop
Apache Neethi does not properly detect circular references in policy definitions. When a WS-Policy document contains circular policy references (where Policy A references Policy B which references Policy A), the policy normalization process can enter an infin…
