{"id":"CVE-2004-1617","details":"Lynx, lynx-ssl, and lynx-cur before 2.8.6dev.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a web page or HTML email that contains invalid HTML including (1) a TEXTAREA tag with a large COLS value and (2) a large tag name in an element that is not terminated, as demonstrated by mangleme.  NOTE: a followup suggests that the relevant trigger for this issue is the large COLS value.","modified":"2026-04-10T03:36:37.788968Z","published":"2004-10-18T04:00:00Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/mangleme/gallery/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.grok.org.uk/pipermail/full-disclosure/2004-October/027709.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/20383"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.debian.org/security/2006/dsa-1076"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.debian.org/security/2006/dsa-1077"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.debian.org/security/2006/dsa-1085"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/11443"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/11443"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://marc.info/?l=bugtraq&m=109811406620511&w=2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securitytracker.com/id?1011809"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/435689/30/4740/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/17804"}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
