Last modified

CVE-2014-6303 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Monitoring Administration pages in PNMsoft Sequence Kinetics before 7.7 do not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.. EPSS estimates a 1.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
