CVSS 8.9 osv_rubygems
Description
### Impact Crass converts CSS scientific notation number values with unbounded exponentiation before it clamps the result to `Float::MAX`. Applications that use Crass to parse attacker-controlled CSS strings can be forced to spend disproportionate CPU and memory parsing a tiny input, possibly resulting in a crash. ### Patches This is fixed in Crass 1.0.7. ### Related - https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db/blob/master/gems/crass/GHSA-6wmf-3r64-vcwv.yml
