neethiTL;DR
Improper detection of circular policy references in Apache Neethi allows malicious WS-Policy documents to trigger infinite loops or excessive recursion during policy normalization. This can lead to a stack overflow or application hang, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Version 3.2.2 introduces proper handling of circular references to prevent uncontrolled recursion.
