Apache Xerces2 is vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. The vulnerability exists in XMLScanner.java in Apache Xerces2 Java due to the way it handles malformed XML input. A malicious user can create a XML file with an invalid literal, or add a high surrogate character to cause the infinite loop when the XML file is parsed.
