The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

BEA WebLogic Server and WebLogic Express 8.1 SP4 and earlier, 7.0 SP6 and earlier, and WebLogic Server 6.1 SP7 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via crafted non-canonicalized XML documents.
