Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Resource Shutdown or Release due to improper handling of process termination signals in the timeout mechanism by using the catchable SIGALRM signal instead of the uncatchable SIGKILL signal. An attacker can cause resource exhaustion and impact service availability by bypassing the intended timeout and allowing malicious code to continue running after the timeout is triggered.
