Apache Xerces2 Java Parser before 2.12.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted message to an XML service, which triggers hash table collisions.

The version of xerces-j2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.11.0-17. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2649 advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the version of the xerces-j2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :
