Description
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."
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
