Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Jose package, where a large number of iterations used to derive the wrapping key for the PBKDF2 algorithm may lead to a denial of service. This flaw allows an attacker to set a large number of `PBKDF2' iterations, triggering an uncontrolled resource consumption that impacts the availability of the targeted application.
