Severity

6.3 (Medium) CVSS_V4 - CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:L CVSS Calculator

Summary

Crass: Non-ASCII characters cause superlinear CPU consumption

Details

Impact

When parsing an input containing non-ASCII characters, inefficiencies in how Crass tracks the positions of multi-byte characters result in superlinear parsing time. An attacker-controlled input consisting of many non-ASCII characters could cause excessive CPU consumption and potentially denial of service.

Patches

This is fixed in Crass 1.0.7.

Workarounds

Avoid passing non-ASCII input to Crass. Or cultivate patience.
