[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-10007) Security vulnerability in website build infrastructure

["Patrick Lucas (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10007?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16566645#comment-16566645 ] 

Patrick Lucas commented on FLINK-10007:
---------------------------------------

FWIW, this vulnerability has to do with a specific JSON string being able to crash ruby, which could result in DoS to a service running it. It's basically inconsequential to us, but might as well check it off the list I guess.
