Description Andrej Nemec 2016-11-14 09:55:12 UTC
MuJS before 5008105780c0b0182ea6eda83ad5598f225be3ee allows context-dependent
attackers to conduct "denial of service (application crash)" attacks by
using the "malformed labeled break/continue in JavaScript" approach,
related to a "NULL pointer dereference" issue affecting the jscompile.c
component.
