Severity: Medium
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Versions Affected:
1.3.0 to 1.4.1
3.1.0 to 3.6.2
4.0.0 to 4.10.4
Description: Solr versions prior to 5.0.0 are vulnerable to an XML resource
consumption attack (a.k.a. Lol Bomb) via it’s update handler. By leveraging
XML DOCTYPE and ENTITY type elements, the attacker can create a pattern
that will expand when the server parses the XML causing OOMs
Mitigation:
* Upgrade to Apache Solr 5.0 or later.
* Ensure your network settings are configured so that only trusted traffic
is allowed to post documents to the running Solr instances.
