freewvs's nested directory structure can interrupt scan
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
Impact
A directory structure of more than 1000 nested directories can interrupt a freewvs scan due to Python's recursion limit and os.walk(). This can be problematic in a case where an administrator scans the dirs of potentially untrusted users.
Patches
This has been fixed in this commit by limiting the recursion to 500 directories: https://github.com/schokokeksorg/freewvs/commit/83a6b55c0435c69f447488b791555e6078803143
