Updated springframework package fixes security vulnerability

Publication date: 28 Jul 2015
Modification date: 28 Jul 2015
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 5
CVE: CVE-2015-3192

Description

In Spring Framework before 3.2.14, if DTD is not entirely disabled, inline
DTD declarations can be used to perform denial of service attacks known as
XML bombs. Such declarations are both well-formed and valid according to
XML schema rules but when parsed can cause out of memory errors. To
protect against this kind of attack DTD support must be disabled by
setting the disallow-doctype-dec feature in the DOM and SAX APIs to true
and by setting the supportDTD property in the StAX API to false
(CVE-2015-3192).

This package is no longer supported for Mageia 4.  Users of this package
are advised to upgrade to Mageia 5
