High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple Mac OS X version 10.4.3 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in memory consumption and application crash, via HTML files with a large ROWSPAN attribute in a TD tag. This is due to the khtml::RenderTableSection::ensureRows function in KHTMLParser.

Recommendations For Apple Mac OS X version 10.4.3 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version to mitigate the risk of denial of service attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of HTML files with large ROWSPAN attributes in TD tags to minimize the risk of exploitation.
