Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a failed assertion and application crash, via certain malformed HTML. This can be achieved with a document containing specific tags such as TEXTAREA, BUTTON, BR, BDO, PRE, FRAMESET, and A.

Recommendations For KDE Konqueror versions 3.5.7 and earlier, consider avoiding the use of the affected HTML tags until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of malformed HTML documents to minimize the risk of application crash.
