Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 152833
w3m browser also crashes on some malformed HTML
Last modified: 2007-07-26 07:37:23 EDT
Problems described in http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/378632 affect w3m browser too. On 'gallery' samples from http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/soft/mangleme.tgz w3m responds with (there is a pause between the first and the second message) Out of Memory! Returning NIL! Segmentation fault for 'links_die1.html'. The reaction is the same for w3m-0.3.1-4.7x.1 from RH7.3 and w3m-0.5.1-4 from FC3test so likely this will show up in-between too. :-) Other samples from the same source do not cause troubles but who knows what else will. ------- Additional Comments From michal@harddata.com 2004-10-30 04:39:55 ---- Later versions of w3m may have _more_ troubles of that sort. RH bugzilla ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=137630 See also https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264944 for tracking these issues in general. ------- Additional Comments From pekkas@netcore.fi 2005-02-15 06:57:55 ---- FWIW, Red Hat has not released updates on this. ------- Bug moved to this database by dkl@redhat.com 2005-03-30 18:29 ------- This bug previously known as bug 2216 at https://bugzilla.fedora.us/ https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=2216 Originally filed under the Fedora Legacy product and General component. Unknown priority P3. Setting to default priority "normal". Unknown platform PC. Setting to default platform "All". Unknown severity minor. Setting to default severity "normal". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
This doesn't seem to be important enough to fix just on its own, so mark it DEFER.
