Description
The issue allows remote attackers to affect availability via unknown vectors related to Security. It also concerns a denial of service vulnerability, where checking the signature of a large message can cause an endless loop in the
expandSize(int newPos) method of the org.apache.xml.security.utils.UnsyncByteArrayOutputStream class. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by supplying crafted XML to lead to a denial of service.Recommendations

For JRockit versions R28.2.8 and earlier, update to a version later than R28.2.8.
For JRockit versions R27.7.6 and earlier, update to a version later than R27.7.6.
For Java SE Embedded versions 7u40 and earlier, update to a version later than 7u40.
For xmlsec, avoid checking signatures of messages larger than 512 MB until a patch is available.
For IBM AIX, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
