CVE-2018-19837 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:14 libsass to version 3.5.4+20180621~c0a6cf3-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libsass package and not the libsass package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.
In LibSass prior to 3.5.5, Sass::Eval::operator()(Sass::Binary_Expression*) inside eval.cpp allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service resulting from stack consumption via a crafted sass file, because of certain incorrect parsing of '%' as a modulo operator in parser.cpp.
