OSVDB-95668: Private Method Exposure

June 15, 2007

This package contains a flaw in the handling of tag names. The issue is triggered when the program reads tag names from XML data and then calls a method with that name. With a specially crafted file, a context-dependent attacker can call private methods and manipulate data.
