NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream solr package and not the solr package as distributed by Chainguard. See How to fix? for Chainguard relevant fixed versions and status.

This affects versions of the package angular from 1.3.0. A regular expression used to split the value of the ng-srcset directive is vulnerable to super-linear runtime due to backtracking. With large carefully-crafted input, this can result in catastrophic backtracking and cause a denial of service.

Note:

This package is EOL and will not receive any updates to address this issue. Users should migrate to @angular/core.
