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:9 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.
