NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-debug package and not the node-debug package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The debug module is vulnerable to regular expression denial of service when untrusted user input is passed into the o formatter. It takes around 50k characters to block for 2 seconds making this a low severity issue.
