DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apache Axis2/Java, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose system information or
potentially sensitive information and cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to Axis2 not properly restricting the
processing of XML Document Type Declarations (DTD). This can be
exploited to e.g. determine the existence or include contents of
local and potentially external files by including them as a DTD
reference or cause a DoS due to CPU or memory consumption by
providing e.g. a heavily nested DTD.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.4.1 and 1.5.1. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Apply patch and update to version 1.5.2 or 1.6 as soon as available.
See vendor's advisory for additional details.
