CVE-2014-0119 is an information-disclosure vulnerability in Apache Tomcat and derived JBossWeb components. In affected releases, the class loader used to access XML parsers for XSLT processing is insufficiently constrained. Under certain circumstances, a malicious deployed web application can replace parsers used for default-servlet XSLTs, JSP documents, tag library descriptors, and tag plug-in configuration files. The substituted parser can bypass XML external-entity restrictions or process attacker-controlled external entity declarations and references, enabling XML External Entity behavior and cross-application XML-file exposure. Affected upstream versions include Tomcat 6 before 6.0.40, Tomcat 7 before 7.0.54, and Tomcat 8 before 8.0.6; some downstream vendors supplied backported fixes.

An Apache Tomcat information-disclosure vulnerability caused by replacement XML parsers used to process XSLTs for the default servlet. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted application to obtain sensitive information.
An Apache Tomcat information-disclosure vulnerability involving insufficient class-loader constraints for the XML parser used by XSLT stylesheets. A remote attacker who can deploy or provide a crafted web application can exploit XXE-related behavior to read arbitrary files or files belonging to other web applications hosted on the same Tomcat instance.
XML parser-hijacking vulnerability in Apache Tomcat 6/JBossWeb that a malicious web application can exploit.
An Apache Tomcat XML parser-hijacking vulnerability in which a malicious deployed web application can replace XML parsers, bypass XML external-entity limits, and potentially access XML files belonging to other web applications on the same Tomcat instance.
