Description The issue affects the HTML parser, allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This can be achieved through a long COLOR attribute in an HR element, or a long BGCOLOR or BORDERCOLOR attribute in TABLE, TD, or TR elements.

Recommendations For KDE Konqueror version 3.5.9, consider disabling the HTML parser temporarily as a workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious HTML content to minimize the risk of exploitation.
