Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache CXF's cxf-rt-rs-security-jose module is vulnerable to denial of service in versions 4.0.0 up to 4.0.5, 3.6.0 up to 3.6.4, and versions before 3.5.9. The p2c parameter is not properly validated, so an attacker who can supply a token with a very large value for it can exhaust server resources. Upgrade to 4.0.5, 3.6.4, 3.5.9, or a later release.
