Trustwave ModSecurity 3.x before 3.0.10 has Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity.

Weakness

An algorithm in a product has an inefficient worst-case computational complexity that may be detrimental to system performance and can be triggered by an attacker, typically using crafted manipulations that ensure that the worst case is being reached.
