Original Filing — NVD Description

An issue was discovered in the Tatsuya Kinoshita w3m fork before 0.5.3-31. w3m doesn't properly validate the value of tag attribute, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap buffer overflow crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page.
