tidy-html5 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 23.04
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Summary:
tidy-html5 could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.
Software Description:
- tidy-html5: HTML/XML syntax checker and reformatter
Details:
Neeraj Pal discovered that HTML Tidy incorrectly handled parsing certain
HTML data. If a user or automated system were tricked into parsing
specially crafted HTML data, a remote attacker could cause HTML Tidy to
consume resources, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code.
