Subject: CVE-2026-64958: Apache CXF: Denial of service via message header
 attachments 

Severity: moderate 

Affected versions:

- Apache CXF (org.apache.cxf:cxf-core) 4.2.0 before 4.2.3
- Apache CXF (org.apache.cxf:cxf-core) 4.0.0 before 4.1.8
- Apache CXF (org.apache.cxf:cxf-core) before 3.6.12

Description:

An incomplete fix for CVE-2026-50645 means that it is still possible to perform a denial of service attack on Apache CXF by sending a message with many attachment headers. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.3 or 4.1.8 or 3.6.12, which fix this issue.
