Summary
Denial of Service in jquery
Details

Affected versions of jquery use a lowercasing logic on attribute names. When given a boolean attribute with a name that contains uppercase characters, jquery enters into an infinite recursion loop, exceeding the call stack limit, and resulting in a denial of service condition.

Recommendation

Update to version 3.0.0 or later.
