In freewvs before 0.1.1, a directory structure of more than 1000 nested directories can interrupt a freewvs scan due to Pythons recursion limit and os.walk(). This can be problematic in a case where an administrator scans the dirs of potentially untrusted users. This has been patched in 0.1.1.

Weakness

The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
