NVD Description

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

There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the Sass::Prelexer::re_linebreak function in lexer.cpp in LibSass 3.4.5. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
