**Description**
The issue allows context-dependent attackers to conduct denial of service attacks by using the malformed labeled break/continue in JavaScript approach, related to a NULL pointer dereference issue affecting the jscompile.c component.
**Recommendations**
For versions before 5008105780c0b0182ea6eda83ad5598f225be3ee, update to version 5008105780c0b0182ea6eda83ad5598f225be3ee or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of malformed labeled break/continue statements in JavaScript until a patch is available.
