Comment 3 Riccardo Schirone 2021-05-06 14:55:30 UTC 
Statement:

There is no available reproducer or proof of concept for this issue, nor it was ever proven the infinite loop can be triggered in practice. Indeed in the original report this issue was considered one that might not be triggered and for this reason its Impact is Moderate.
