Description Josh Bressers 2010-05-10 19:00:30 UTC

Security researcher Nils of MWR InfoSecurity reported that the routine for
setting the text value for certain types of DOM nodes contained an integer
overflow vulnerability. When a very long string was passed to this routine
the integer value used in creating a new memory buffer to hold the string
would overflow, resulting in too small a buffer being allocated. An
attacker could use this vulnerability to write data past the end of the
buffer, causing a crash and potentially running arbitrary code on a
victim's computer.
