Description Vincent Danen 2012-06-08 16:06:03 UTC 
Florian Weimer reported a denial of service condition in Cumin.  Clients could request images of an arbitrary size, which would lead to large memory allocations on the server.  This could lead to an out of memory condition, which could potentially consume all available memory on the Cumin server.

Note, this flaw no longer exists on trunk, but it does exist in previous releases.
