Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2011-5037 medium priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (libv8, libv8-3.14), 28 status rows across 16 suites (hardy, lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric, precise, quantal, raring, saucy, trusty, upstream, utopic, vivid, wily, xenial, yakkety): DNE 12, ignored 8, not-affected 6, needed 1, released 1.
Google V8 computes hash values for form parameters without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many crafted parameters, as demonstrated by attacks against Node.js.
