CVE-2022-30973: Apache Tika

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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 Tika: before 1.28.3 (fixed in 1.28.3)
