Heap-based buffer overflow in the js_stackoverflow function in jsrun.c in Artifex Software, Inc. MuJS allows attackers to have unspecified impact by leveraging an error when dropping extra arguments to lightweight functions.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
