Error description
A hazard existed in one of our internal hashtables if a hashcode ever had its high bit set (possible negative array index).
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All IBM WebSphere Application Server * * Feature * * Pack for XML users * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Negative/out-of-bounds array index * * reported during processing of XSLT, * * XPath, or XQuery * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply fix. * **************************************************************** A hazard existed in one of our internal hashtables if a hashcode ever had its high bit set. This situation has not occurred in the past, but the hazard was exposed when the improved hashing algorith was introduced in Java as described in http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/HashMap.html.
Problem conclusion
The code has been corrected to handle this possibility. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in the Websphere Application Server XML Feature V1.0.0.13. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
Temporary fix
If this problem does arise (unlikely), regressing WebSphere Application Server and/or the IBM XML code to an earlier version may be an acceptable temporary workaround.
