IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service using a complex regular expression.

Weakness

The product uses a regular expression with an inefficient, possibly exponential worst-case computational complexity that consumes excessive CPU cycles.

Extended Description

	  Attackers can create crafted inputs that
	  intentionally cause the regular expression to use
	  excessive backtracking in a way that causes the CPU
	  consumption to spike.
