NVD Description

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

An issue was discovered in Artifex MuJS 1.0.5. regcompx in regexp.c does not restrict regular expression program size, leading to an overflow of the parsed syntax list size.
