Synopsis: Important: elinks security update
Issue date: 2009-10-01
CVE Names: CVE-2007-2027 CVE-2008-7224
CVE-2007-2027 elinks tries to load .po files from a non-absolute path
CVE-2008-7224 elinks: entity_cache static array buffer overflow (off-by-one)
An off-by-one buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the way ELinks
handled its internal cache of string representations for HTML special
entities. A remote attacker could use this flaw to create a
specially-crafted HTML file that would cause ELinks to crash or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code when rendered. (CVE-2008-7224)
It was discovered that ELinks tried to load translation files using
relative paths. A local attacker able to trick a victim into running
ELinks in a folder containing specially-crafted translation files could
use this flaw to confuse the victim via incorrect translations, or cause
ELinks to crash and possibly execute arbitrary code via embedded
formatting sequences in translated messages. (CVE-2007-2027)
