The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled resource consumption in InventoryTransaction->findResultItem() when processing specially crafted InventoryTransactionPackets. A remote attacker can send specially crafted InventoryTransactionPackets to cause a denial of service.
The issue is triggered when multiple pathways to a result exist, causing exponential complexity during flattening of conflicting InventoryActions within the same InventoryTransaction.
