NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nasm-doc package and not the nasm-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14.02, stack consumption occurs in expr# functions in asm/eval.c. This potentially affects the relationships among expr0, expr1, expr2, expr3, expr4, expr5, and expr6 (and stdscan in asm/stdscan.c). This is similar to CVE-2019-6290 and CVE-2019-6291.
