Descriptions
Heap-based buffer overflow in the ParseValue function in lexer.c in tidy before 4.9.31 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via vectors involving a command character in an href.
Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en la función ParseValue en lexer.c en tidy en versiones anteriores a 4.9.31, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) a través de vectores implicando un carácter de comando en un href.
Fernando Munoz discovered that HTML Tidy incorrectly handled memory. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing specially crafted data, applications linked against HTML Tidy could be made to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
