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.

NAME

SOAP::Header - similar to SOAP::Data elements, a SOAP::Header object simply is encoded in the SOAP Header block

DESCRIPTION

Objects instantiated from the SOAP::Header class are functionally the same as SOAP::Data objects, and as such share all the methods from that class. The distinction may be cosmetic, but it is present so that applications may more easily distinguish header blocks from more generic data elements.

SEE ALSO

SOAP::Data
