MicroQuickJS before commit 99eed3f Out-of-Bounds Read in build_backtrace
Description

MicroQuickJS (mquickjs) before commit 99eed3f contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability because JS_Call() raises exceptions during frame setup without updating ctx->sp and ctx->fp. Attackers can supply JavaScript that calls a non-function value, causing build_backtrace() to walk stale frame pointers and crash the engine for denial of service.
