NVD Description

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

Mathjax up to v2.7.9 was discovered to contain two Regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerabilities in MathJax.js via the components pattern and markdownPattern. NOTE: the vendor disputes this because the regular expressions are not applied to user input; thus, there is no risk.
