  "details": "### Impact\n\nWhen 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.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis is fixed in Crass 1.0.7.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nAvoid passing non-ASCII input to Crass. Or cultivate patience.",
