AI-suggested

Users should upgrade Apache Axis2/Java to version 2.0.2 or later, which includes a fix that limits JSON request body sizes via the configurable jsonMaxRequestSize parameter.

Description

Apache Axis2/Java versions through 2.0.1 contain a vulnerability where JSON message builders buffer the entire request body without size limits, allowing unauthenticated attackers to exhaust server memory with large JSON requests. This resource exhaustion issue is fixed in version 2.0.2 by introducing a configurable jsonMaxRequestSize parameter to limit JSON request sizes.
