Summary

Multiple buffer overflows in W3C Amaya 9.4 and versions 8.x before 8.8.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long value in the COMPACT attribute of the COLGROUP element, the ROWS attribute of the TEXTAREA element, or the COLOR attribute of the LEGEND element, as well as through other unspecified attack vectors.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization is that an attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to system compromise, data theft, or service disruption.

Recommendation
