NVD Description

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

In Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc0, there is an illegal address access in is_mmacro() in asm/preproc.c that will cause a remote denial of service attack, because of a missing check for the relationship between minimum and maximum parameter counts.
