TL;DR

BinXML parsing previously allowed attacker-controlled crafted inputs to create extremely deep template/element nesting, potentially causing a stack-overflow crash (DoS). v0.12.2 adds hard recursion/depth caps (e.g., 64 nesting levels and 512 open elements) and threads a depth guard through the BinXML builder/validation so malicious inputs fail with parse errors instead of crashing.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.

Background info

evtx is vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) in versions 0.10.0 - 0.12.1.
