The problem is that DoS is the most vaguely defined category. If a library processes some inputs 1000 slower than average one may claim that this is a DoS. What if it is just 10x slower? Where to draw the line? What is the problem domain is such that some inputs just take more time and there is no way to 'fix' it? What if the input comes only from a trusted source?
