Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to lock contention in the features command. The command can be invoked repeatedly by an authenticated user without special privileges, and high-volume invocation can deplete resources or create severe lock contention. An attacker can exploit this by flooding the service with features requests, and in rare cases cause id field collisions.
