Description :
Welcome to the future! Xerces2 is the next generation of high
performance, fully compliant XML parsers in the Apache Xerces family.
This new version of Xerces introduces the Xerces Native Interface (XNI),
a complete framework for building parser components and configurations
that is extremely modular and easy to program.
The Apache Xerces2 parser is the reference implementation of XNI but
other parser components, configurations, and parsers can be written
using the Xerces Native Interface. For complete design and
implementation documents, refer to the XNI Manual.
Xerces 2 is a fully conforming XML Schema processor. For more
information, refer to the XML Schema page.
Xerces 2 also provides a partial implementation of Document Object Model
Level 3 Core, Load and Save and Abstract Schemas [deprecated] Working
Drafts. For more information, refer to the DOM Level 3 Implementation
page.
Security issues fixed with this release:
CVE-2013-4002
Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in IBM Java 5.0 before 5.0 SR16-FP3, 6
before 6 SR14, 6.0.1 before 6.0.1 SR6, and 7 before 7 SR5 allows remote attackers to affect availability
via unknown vectors.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
