Patrick Lucas commented on FLINK-10007:
---------------------------------------
FWIW, this vulnerability has to do with a specific JSON string being able to
crash ruby, which could result in DoS to a service running it. It's basically
inconsequential to us, but might as well check it off the list I guess.
