Description

We failed to apply the fix for CVE-2022-30126 to the 1.x branch in the 1.28.2 release. In Apache Tika, a regular expression in the StandardsText class, used by the StandardsExtractingContentHandler could lead to a denial of service caused by backtracking on a specially crafted file. This only affects users who are running the StandardsExtractingContentHandler, which is a non-standard handler. This is fixed in 1.28.3.

Affected products

• Apache Software Foundation Apache Tika: before 1.28.3 — fixed in 1.28.3

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Tika 1.28.3. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
