CVE-2015-8978 (2015-07-21)

An example attack consists of defining 10 or more XML entities, each defined as consisting of 10 of the previous entity, with the document consisting of a single instance of the largest entity, which expands to one billion copies of the first entity. The amount of computer memory used for handling an external SOAP call would likely exceed that available to the process parsing the XML.

Changes for version 0.55 - 2002-04-15

  • ! fixed security vulnerability with fully qualified method names (thanks to Randal Schwartz, Ilya Martynov and many others) ! fixed problem with TCP transport and SSL (thanks to Chris Hurd) ! fixed TCP transport to specify correct length with utf8 strings (thanks to Robin Fuller) ! fixed incorrect encoding when parameters list includes undefined values (thanks to Chris Radcliff) ! updated 'xmlsoap' prefix (thanks to Pierre Denis) ! updated MIME parser to accept messages that start with 'From' (thanks to Chris Davies)
  • added check for TCP transport on Mac (thanks to Robin Fuller)
  • added check for shutdown() method on AIX (thanks to Jos Clijmans)
  • added check for blocking() method in TCP transport (thanks to Jos Clijmans)
  • optimized parsing strings with entity encoding (thanks to Mathieu Longtin)
  • added check for entity size for CGI transport ($SOAP::Constant::MAX_CONTENT_SIZE) (thanks to J. Klunder)
  • added example (google.pl)
  • updated tests and examples with new endpoints
