DESCRIPTION:
Alexey Sintsov has reported a vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver, which
can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing certain
SOAP requests, which can be exploited to cause a stack overflow by
e.g. sending SOAP requests containing a huge amount of nested tags.

SOLUTION:
Update to the latest versions (see SAP Note 1469549 for more
information).
