An issue was discovered in JerryScript commit a6ab5e9. There is an Use-After-Free in lexer_compare_identifier_to_string in js-lexer.c file.

Weakness

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
