Palm · Webos · CVE-2009-5098
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Palm Pre WebOS versions 1.1 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a crash, by exploiting a weakness in the LunaSysMgr process. This occurs when a web page containing a long string following a refresh tag is accessed, triggering a floating point exception. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified.
**Recommendations**
For Palm Pre WebOS versions 1.1 and earlier, consider avoiding the use of web pages with long strings following refresh tags until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, users may want to view web pages in landscape mode to potentially mitigate the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
