NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mozjs60 package and not the mozjs60 package as distributed by Centos.

Versions of the package angular from 1.4.9 are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the <input type="url"> element due to the usage of an insecure regular expression in the input[url] functionality. Exploiting this vulnerability is possible by a large carefully-crafted input, which can result in catastrophic backtracking.
