Impact
Active Support number helpers accept strings containing scientific notation (e.g. 1e10000), which when converted to a string could be expanded into extremely large decimal representations. This can cause excessive memory allocation and CPU consumption when the expanded number is formatted, possibly resulting in a DoS vulnerability.
Releases
The fixed releases are available at the normal locations.
