Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)

mobile-detect is a loose port of Mobile-Detect to JavaScript.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the user agent parser. It used a regular expression (/Dell.*Streak|Dell.*Aero|Dell.*Venue|DELL.*Venue Pro|Dell Flash|Dell Smoke|Dell Mini 3iX|XCD28|XCD35|\b001DL\b|\b101DL\b|\bGS01\b/i ) in order to parse user agents. This can cause a very moderate impact of about 10 seconds matching time for data 50k characters long.

This vulnerability is related to SNYK-PHP-MOBILEDETECTMOBILEDETECTLIB-70384.

How to fix Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)?
