fulgur converts untrusted HTML/CSS into PDF, commonly on a server that processes input supplied by many tenants. From version 0.15.0 to before version 0.27.0, resolving the CSS counters(name, sep) function in generated content was bounded neither in the size of a single expansion nor in the aggregate work across an element tree. An attacker able to submit HTML/CSS to a fulgur-based conversion service can trigger CPU and memory exhaustion with a trivially small payload, denying service to the host and any co-tenants. This issue has been patched in version 0.27.0.
