NVD Description

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

The uglify-js package before 2.6.0 for Node.js allows attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via crafted input in a parse call, aka a "regular expression denial of service (ReDoS)."
