Affected packages

• npm angular: >= 1.3.0, <= 1.8.3 (no fix yet) • Maven org.webjars.npm:angular: >= 1.3.0, <= 1.8.3 (no fix yet) • Maven org.webjars.bower:angular: >= 1.3.0, <= 1.8.3 (no fix yet)

Description

This affects versions of the package angular from 1.3.0. A regular expression used to split the value of the ng-srcset directive is vulnerable to super-linear runtime due to backtracking. With a large carefully-crafted input, this can result in catastrophic backtracking and cause a denial of service. Note: This package is EOL and will not receive any updates to address this issue. Users should migrate to @angular/core.
