apache-poi: entity expansion (billion laughs) flaw
Apache POI before 3.10.1 and 3.11.x before 3.11-beta2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and crash) via a crafted OOXML file, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
It was found that Apache POI would expand an unlimited number of entities in OOXML documents. A remote attacker able to supply OOXML documents that are parsed by Apache POI could use this flaw to trigger a denial of service attack via excessive CPU and memory consumption.
Statement: Red Hat Product Security has determined that CVE-2014-3574 is not exploitable by default in JBoss Portal Platform as provided by Red Hat. This flaw would only be exploitable if the Apache POI library provided by JBoss Portal Platform were used by a custom app

Impact assessment for vulnerabilities in open-source software libraries

Impact assessment for vulnerabilities in open-source software libraries
fancy
Software applications integrate more and more open-source software
(OSS) to benefit from code reuse. As a drawback, each vulnerability
discovered in bundled OSS potentially affects the application. Upon
the disclosure of every new vulnerability, the application vendor has
to decide whether it is exploitable in his particular usage context,
hence, whether users require an urgent application patch containing a
non-vulnerable version of the OSS. Current decision making is mostly
based on high-level vulnerability descriptions and expert knowledge,
thus, effort intense and error prone. This paper proposes a pragmatic
approach to facilitate the impact assessment, describes a
proof-of-concept for Java, and examines one example vulnerability as
case study. The approach is independent from s
