Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Google V8 before 5.2.361.32, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82, does not properly process left-trimmed objects, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code.
