Last modified
CVE-2008-4482 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The XML parser in Xerces-C++ before 3.0.0 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and crash) via an XML schema definition with a large maxOccurs value, which triggers excessive memory consumption during validation of an XML file.. EPSS estimates a 4.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
