ip-address before 10.7.4 allows a denial of service (CPU consumption from quadratic complexity, and application stall) via many % characters in input reaching a function call that uses the Address6 constructor.

Weakness

The product uses a regular expression with a worst-case computational complexity that is inefficient and possibly exponential.
