NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream node-merge package and not the node-merge package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The merge.recursive function in the merge package <1.2.1 can be tricked into adding or modifying properties of the Object prototype. These properties will be present on all objects allowing for a denial of service attack.
