Upstream information
Description
fast-xml-parser allows users to process XML from JS object without C/C++ based libraries or callbacks. Prior to 5.12.0, when the non-default stopNodes option is enabled, readStopNodeData() in OrderedObjParser.js calls readTagExp() for each less-than character in an unterminated stop-node body and repeatedly rescans the remaining input while looking for a closing greater-than character. An attacker who supplies XML containing many tag fragments without a later closing character can cause quadratic rescanning before parsing fails, blocking a Node.js event loop and causing CPU-exhaustion denial of service. This issue is fixed in version 5.12.0.SUSE information
