An out-of-bounds write issue has been discovered in the backspace handling of the checkType() function in etc.c within the W3M application. This vulnerability is triggered by supplying a specially crafted HTML file to the w3m binary. Exploitation of this flaw could lead to application crashes, resulting in a denial of service condition.
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in w3m, in the growbuftoStr function in indep.c. This issue may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service through a crafted HTML file.
w3m 0.5.3+git20230129 has an out-of-bounds read in function growbuftoStr in indep.c. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HTML file.
