Descriptions

An issue was discovered in the Tatsuya Kinoshita w3m fork before 0.5.3-31. The feed_table_tag function in w3m doesn't properly validate the value of table span, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack and/or heap buffer overflow) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page.

Se descubrió un problema en el fork de Tatsuya Kinoshita w3m en versiones anteriores a 0.5.3-31. La función feed_table_tag en w3m no valida adecuadamente el valor span de tabla, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer en memoria dinámica y/o pila) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una página HTML manipulada.
