Envoy 1.12.0 allows a remote denial of service because of resource loops, as demonstrated by a single idle TCP connection being able to keep a worker thread in an infinite busy loop when continue_on_listener_filters_timeout is used.

Weakness

The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
