Description
Apache XmlSchema doesn't limit how deeply schema structures can be nested when it builds its schema model, so a malicious schema can make parsing recurse until the stack overflows. This causes a denial of service.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.3.3, which fixes this issue.
