NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ovirt-engine-api-explorer package and not the ovirt-engine-api-explorer package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The debug module is vulnerable to regular expression denial of service when untrusted user input is passed into the o formatter. It takes around 50k characters to block for 2 seconds making this a low severity issue.
