Summary
In Apache Tika 1.19 (CVE-2018-11761), we added an entity expansion limit for XML parsing. However, Tika reuses SAXParsers and calls reset() after each parse, which, for Xerces2 parsers, as per the documentation, removes the user-specified SecurityManager and thus removes entity expansion limits after the first parse. Apache Tika versions from 0.1 to 1.19 are therefore still vulnerable to entity expansions which can lead to a denial of service attack. Users should upgrade to 1.19.1 or later.

Sin embargo, Tika reutiliza SAXParsers y llama a reset() tras cada análisis y, en el caso de los analizadores Xerces2, tal y como se indica en la documentación, elimina el SecurityManager especificado por el usuario y elimina los límites de expansión de entidades tras el primer análisis. Por lo tanto, las versiones de la 0.1 a la 1.19 de Apache Tika siguen siendo vulnerables a expansiones de entidades, lo que podría conducir a un ataque de denegación de servicio (DoS).
