CVE-2018-11590

Status: ModifiedMedium (5.5)—
Severity5.5Medium · CVSS 3.0
Exploitation probability1.01 %higher than 63% of CVEs
Active exploitationNonot in the CISA catalog
Public exploitNot knownno public code found

Espruino before 1.99 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) with a user crafted input file via an integer overflow during syntax parsing. This was addressed by fixing stack size detection on Linux in jsutils.c.
