- Weakness Name
Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity
- Description
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.
- Common Consequences
Scope: Availability
Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU), DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory), DoS: Resource Consumption (Other)
Notes: The typical consequence is CPU consumption, but memory consumption and consumption of other resources can also occur.
