NVD Description

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

There is an illegal address access at asm/preproc.c (function: is_mmacro) in Netwide Assembler (NASM) 2.14rc16 that will cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) because a certain conversion can result in a negative integer.
