Machine-written summary

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

The crass package (RubyGems) before 1.0.7 is vulnerable. An attacker who can supply CSS strings to an application that parses them with Crass can make it use excessive CPU and memory on a very small input, which may crash the process. Upgrade to crass 1.0.7 or later.
