- CWE-400 - Uncontrolled Resource ConsumptionThe software does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources.
- CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')The program contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
