Machine-written summary

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

Product is ckan, affected versions 2.0 up to but not including 2.9.10, and 2.10.0 up to but not including 2.10.3. The source does not say what the crafted field looks like. An attacker needs an account with permission to create or edit datasets, then can submit a crafted form to the dataset creation endpoint and cause an out-of-memory error on the server. Upgrade to CKAN 2.9.10 or 2.10.3.
