Description Marian Rehak 2021-07-30 11:24:19 UTC 
uBlock Origin before 1.36.2 support an arbitrary depth of parameter nesting for strict blocking, which allows crafted web sites to cause a denial of service (unbounded recursion that can trigger memory consumption and a loss of all blocking functionality).
