GHSA-v78m-2q7v-fjqp Uncontrolled Recursion in rulex

• crates.io rulex: < 0.4.3 → fixed in 0.4.3

Impact When parsing untrusted rulex expressions, the stack may overflow, possibly enabling a Denial of Service attack. This happens when parsing an expression with several hundred levels of nesting, causing the process to abort immediately. This is a security concern for you, if • your service parses untrusted rulex expressions (expressions provided by an untrusted user), and • your service becomes unavailable when the process running rulex aborts due to a stack overflow. Patches The crash is fixed in version 0.4.3. Affected users are advised to update to this version. Workarounds None.
