Summary

Multiple buffer overflows in World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Amaya 9.4, and possibly other versions including 8.x before 8.8.5, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long value in (1) the COMPACT attribute of the COLGROUP element, (2) the ROWS attribute of the TEXTAREA element, and (3) the COLOR attribute of the LEGEND element; and via other unspecified attack vectors consisting of "dozens of possible snippets."

Amaya have two vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious

The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors within the

stack-based buffer overflows when a user opens a specially crafted
HTML document containing certain tags with overly long attribute
values.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code."
