CVE-2022-30973: Apache Tika: Missing fix for CVE-2022-30126 in 1.28.2

Description:

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.

Mitigation:

Avoid using the StandardsExtractingContentHandler or upgrade to Tika 1.28.3 or 2.4.0
