Conversation
We have dedicated requirements about memory leaks when triaging DoS. These applies in generall to all types of DoS, and many recent reports about DoS attack vectors fail to meet them, resulting in a lot of extra back-and-forth in triaging. Clarify in the threat model by expanding these requirements to all DoS. Drive-by: clarify criteria of documented JavaScript behavior is that they are included in ECMA262. Also use "Node.js application developer" instead of "user" the refer to the party being vulnerable to avoid confusion.
