Description Andrej Nemec 2018-10-18 11:12:23 EDT
Asciidoctor allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop), as demonstrated by web applications that deliver untrusted input to this product, because Parser#next_block misuses a "while true" statement.

Comment 2 Doran Moppert 2018-10-21 22:25:59 EDT
Statement:

The version of rubygem-asciidoctor included in Red Hat Virtualization is affected by this flaw, however it is not exposed to user input in such a way that the vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker.
Comment 3 Dan Allen 2018-10-22 03:02:28 EDT
A fix is now available upstream. The fix is in master at the time of this comment and will be included in the upcoming 1.5.8 release.
