Detail

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in Jabber Extensible Communications Platform (Jabber XCP) and Cisco Unified Presence. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending malicious XML to an affected server. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could cause elevated memory and CPU utilization, resulting in memory exhaustion and process crashes. Repeated exploitation could result in a sustained DoS condition.

There are no workarounds available to mitigate exploitation of this vulnerability.
