Description Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-18 01:18:16 UTC
Dillo v0.8.4 and all previous versions were vulnerable to remote crashes via large or negative table attributes.  

These issues can either cause an instant segfault, or a lockup.

A sample vulnerable page is:

     <html><head> <title>Crash #2</title></head> <body>
     <table> <td colspan=10000000> </td></table></body></html>


The patch used to fix the issue is here:

 http://cvs.auriga.wearlab.de/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/dillo/src/html.c.diff?sortby=date&cvsroot=dillo&r1=1.233&r2=1.234&f=c

0.85 is released and seems to fix the issue, though I haven't tested.

If this is just a crash, I wouldn't consider it a vulnerability.
Comment 2 Tavis Ormandy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-21 01:50:07 UTC
This looks like a harmless crash, a regular bug rathen than a secureity issue. 
marking INVALID.
