CVE-2018-17846
First published: Mon Oct 01 2018(Updated: )
The html package (aka x/net/html) through 2018-09-25 in Go mishandles `<table><math><select><mi><select></table>`, leading to an infinite loop during an `html.Parse` call because `inSelectIM` and `inSelectInTableIM` do not comply with a specification.
