With just a few hundred Bytes of XML data an attacker -can occupy several Gigabytes of memory within seconds. An attacker -can also keep CPUs busy for a long time with a small to medium size -request. Under some circumstances it is even possible to access local -files on your server, to circumvent a firewall, or to abuse services -to rebound attacks to third parties. This library allows for XML to -be parsed in a manner that avoids these pitfalls. |
