Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Crass versions before 1.0.7 are vulnerable to deeply nested CSS blocks and functions, which can cause a SystemStackError or excessive memory use. An attacker who can supply CSS content to be parsed can trigger this. Upgrade crass to version 1.0.7, which adds a configurable depth limit. The source does not offer a workaround beyond rescuing SystemStackError or adding memory.
