CVE-2012-0213
Description:
Apache POI is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the
improper handling of memory when processing certain Channel Definition Format
(CDF)/ Compound File Binary Format (CFBF) documents. By sending a
specially-crafted CDF / CFBF file to an application using Apache POI, a remote
attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
