tidy: two vulnerabilities
| Package(s): | tidy | CVE #(s): | CVE-2015-5522 CVE-2015-5523 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Created: | July 20, 2015 | Updated: | July 30, 2015 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | From the Debian advisory:
Fernando Muñoz discovered that invalid HTML input passed to tidy, an HTML syntax checker and reformatter, could trigger a buffer overflow. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code. Geoff McLane also discovered that a similar issue could trigger an integer overflow, leading to a memory allocation of 4GB. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by saturating the target's memory. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
