CVE-2021-39176

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions detect-character-encoding versions 0.3.0 and earlier

Description The issue is related to allocated memory not being released in detect-character-encoding versions 0.3.0 and earlier. This can cause a program using the library to become unavailable when running out of memory, especially if the program is accessible over the internet. The severity of the issue may vary depending on the specific implementation.

Recommendations For detect-character-encoding versions 0.3.0 and earlier, update to version 0.3.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the detect-character-encoding library in memory-intensive operations until the update is applied.
