CVSS 3.1
3.7 lowCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:LCVE-2021-32823
Low (3.7). EPSS 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in bindata 2.4.10.
In the bindata RubyGem before version 2.4.10 there is a potential denial-of-service vulnerability. In affected versions it is very slow for certain classes in BinData to be created. For example BinData::Bit100000, BinData::Bit100001, BinData::Bit100002, BinData::Bit<N>. In combination with <user_input>.constantize there is a potential for a CPU-based DoS. In version 2.4.10 bindata improved the creation time of Bits and Integers.
