These crashes are probably not exploitable, but better safe than sorry, we'll track them here.

Comment 4 Thierry Carrez (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-24 08:24:22 UTC
Links is fixed in 1.00pre12, according to http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/links/download/ChangeLog :

	Fixed bugs discovered with mangleme:
	http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/mangleme/mangle2.cgi
	memory leak with nested <select multiple name=n> tags
	integer overflow in frame widths causes an internal error
	internal error with base url only containing //
	fixed incorrect generating of title (does not cause crash, but excessive
		memory allocation)

These are bugs rather than security issues, and most browsers fixed them. Closing, please reopen if you disagree (like, if you think/prove those crashes are exploitable).
